The 2008 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 117th staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 13 September to 19 October 2008.

Loughmore-Castleiney were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Toomevara in the semi-finals.[2][3]

The final was played on 19 October 2008 at Semple Stadium in Thurles, between Toomevara and Thurles Sarsfields, in what was their ninth meeting in the final overall. Toomevara won the match by 2–14 to 0–17 to claim their 22nd championship title overall and a first title in two years.[4][5]

Clonoulty–Rossmore's Timmy Hammersley was the championship's top scorer with 2–35.

Format

All the teams that reached the divisional semi-finals qualified for the county championship. The eight teams that made the divisional finals were protected by being put in one side of the draw while the defeated semi-finalists were put in the other.
