1966 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship

The 1966 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 80th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament. The championship ran from 15 May 1966 to 4 September 1966.

Tipperary entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Limerick in the Munster quarter-finals.

The All-Ireland final was played on 4 September 1996 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Cork and Kilkenny, in what was their 14th meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in the final in 19 years.
