The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship of 1915 was the 29th edition of Ireland’s premier hurling knockout competition. The championship ran throughout the whole of 1915, culminating with the All-Ireland final, held at Croke Park, Dublin on 24 October. The match was contested by Laois, represented by Ballygeehan, and Cork, represented by Redmond’s, with Laois taking the title by 6-2 to 4-1. It was Laois’s first All-Ireland title and, as of 2008, it is their only championship title.

Format

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. All games were played on a knockout basis whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The format for the All-Ireland series of games ran as follows:
* The representatives from the Munster Championship advanced directly to a lone All-Ireland semi-final.
* Galway, a team who were unopposed in the Connacht Championship, advanced directly to the All-Ireland semi-final where they played the Munster representatives.
* The winners of the Leinster Championship advanced directly to the All-Ireland final.
* There were no representatives from the Ulster Championship in the All-Ireland series of games.
