The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship of 1993 was the 107th edition of Ireland’s premier hurling knockout competition. The championship ran from May to September of that year, culminating with the All-Ireland final, held at Croke Park, Dublin on 5 September. The match was contested by Kilkenny and Galway, with Kilkenny taking the title by 2-17 to 1-15. It was Kilkenny’s second All-Ireland title in-a-row.

Format

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. All provincial games were played on a knockout basis whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The defeated Munster and Leinster finalists were given a second chance to capture the All-Ireland title as they re-entered the championship via the ‘back-door’ system. The format for the All-Ireland series of games ran as follows:
* The winners of the Munster Championship advanced directly to the first All-Ireland semi-final.
* The winners of the Leinster Championship advanced directly to the second All-Ireland semi-final.
* Galway, a team who faced no competition in the Connacht Championship entered the championship at the All-Ireland semi-final stage where they were drawn to play the defeated Munster champions.
* The winners of the Ulster Championship advanced directly to a lone All-Ireland quarter-final where they were drawn to play the winners of the All-Ireland ‘B’ championship.
