The 2025 Offaly Senior Hurling Championship is the 128th staging of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board in 1896. The draw for the group stage placings was made on 13 February 2025.[2][3] The championship is scheduled to run from 11 July to October 2025.

Kilcormac–Killoughey entered the championship as the defending champions.[4][5] Tullamore were due to be relegated, however, they earned a reprieve after Kilcormac–Killoughey decided not to field their second team, in spite of earning their right to promotion after winning the 2024 Offaly SBHC.[6]
