The 1973–74 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the fourth staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament.[1] The championship ran from 28 October 1973 to 28 April 1974.
Glen Rovers of Cork were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Blackrock in the 1973 Cork SHC final.[2][3]
The All-Ireland final, a replay, was played at Fraher Field in Dungarvan on 28 April 1974, between Blackrock of Cork and Rathnure of Wexford, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams in two years.[4] Blackrock won the match by 3–08 to 1–09 and became the first team to win the title twice.[5][6]
Rathnure's Dan Quigley was the championship's top scorer with 4–42.
