The 1952 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 61st staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 24 August to 14 September 1952.

Holycross–Ballycahill were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Thurles Sarsfields in the Mid Tipperary SHC final.[2]

The final was played on 14 September 1952 at MacDonagh Park in Nenagh, between Thurles Sarsfields and Borris–Ileigh, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Thurles Sarsfields won the match by 5–06 to 1–08 to claim their 17th championship title overall and a first title in six years.[3][4]
