The 2006–07 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 37th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament.[1] The competition ran from 22 October 2006 to 17 March 2007.
Portumna of Galway were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Loughrea in the final of the 2006 Galway SHC.[2][3] Bruree of Limerick, Loughrea of Galway, Mount Leinster Rangers of Carlow and Rathdowney–Errill of Laois made their championship debuts.[4][5][6]
The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 17 March 2007, between Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny and Loughrea of Galway, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams.[7] Ballyhale Shamrocks won the match by 3–12 to 2–08 to claim a record-equalling fourth title.[8][9]
Henry Shefflin was the championship's top scorer with 2–19.
