The 2026 Waterford Senior Hurling Championship was the 126th staging of the Waterford Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Waterford County Board in 1897. The draw for the group stage pairings was made on 9 February 2026.^[1]^[2] The championship ran from 3 July to 30 August 2026.

Ballygunner were the defending champions.^[3]^[4] Dungarvan's relegation brought an end to 17 years of top tier hurling for the club.^[5]

The final was played on 30 August 2026 at Cappoquin Logistics Fraher Field in Dungarvan, between Ballygunner and first time finalists Fourmilewater.^[6] Ballygunner won the match by 1–16 to 0–15 to claim their 25th championship title overall and a 13th consecutive title.^[7]

Fourmilewater's Aaron Ryan was the championship's top scorer with 3–77.

Format change

Waterford County Board was granted deviation by Central Council to allow two Ballygunner teams to take part in the competition.^[8]^[9] The preliminary quarter-finals were abolished, with the top four teams in each group now progressing to the quarter-finals. The two bottom sides will be relegated, along with Ballygunner B, with the two fifth-placed teams finished for the season as the number of teams is reduced to 10 in 2027.^[2]
