2002–03 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship

The 2002–03 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 33rd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship began on 20 October 2002 and ended on 17 March 2002.
Birr were the defending champions.
On 17 March 2003 Birr won the championship following a 1–19 to 0–11 defeat of Dunloy in the All-Ireland final. This was their fourth All-Ireland title and their second title in succession.
Athenry's Eugene Cloonan was the championship's top scorer with 4–23.

Pre-championship

The build-up to the opening of the championship was dominated by Birr and the possibility that they would retain their All-Ireland title and lead the all-time club roll of honour with four championships. Having secured their fourth successive county championship title, Birr were favourites to retain their provincial title for a second year-in-a-row. This would leave them only two wins away from hurling immortality.
