2020 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship

The 2020 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 27 January 2020. The championship was scheduled to begin in April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship eventually began on 25 July and ended on 20 September 2020.
Borris–Ileigh were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Drom & Inch in a penalty shoot-out at the quarter-final stage. Burgess were relegated after a 1–17 to 0–16 defeat by Éire Óg Annacarty in a playoff.
On 20 September 2020, Kiladangan won the championship after a 1–28 to 3-20 extra-time defeat of Loughmore–Castleiney in the final at Semple Stadium. This was their first ever championship title.
