The 2025 Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship was the eighth staging of the Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board in 2018. The draw for the group stage placings was made on 13 February 2025.[1][2] The championship ran from 12 July to 5 October 2025.

Kilcormac–Killoughey entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Lusmagh in the semi-finals.[3][4]

The final was played on 5 October 2025 at Grant Heating St Brendan's Park in Birr, between Lusmagh and Carrig & Riverstown, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[5] Lusmagh won the match by 1–19 to 0–19 to claim their first ever championship title.[6]
