The 2005 Limerick Senior Hurling Championship was the 111th staging of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Limerick County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 29 May to 16 October 2005.
Ahane entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they surrendered their title after failing to qualify from the group stage.[2][3] Ballybrown's relegation brought an end to 38 years of top tier hurling for the club.[4]
The final was played on 16 October 2005 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Garryspillane and Kilmallock, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Garryspillane won the match by 2–15 to 2–12 to claim their first ever championship title.[5][6]
Kilmallock's Andrew O'Shaughnessy was the championship's top scorer with 8–26.
A new format was introduced which resulted in the abolition of the Limerick Senior B Hurling Championship after two years in existence. All 16 senior clubs now contested the A-grade competition. These teams were divided into four groups of four. After the group stage the top two teams in each group qualified for the quarter-finals. The bottom team in each group played off in a series of relegation matches.
