The 1994 Limerick Senior Hurling Championship was the 100th staging of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Limerick County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 17 June to 23 October 1994.

Patrickswell entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Kilmallock in the quarter-finals.[2][3][4] Hospital-Herbertstown were relegated.

The final, a replay, was played on 23 October 1994 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Kilmallock and Bruree, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Kilmallock won the match by 1–12 to 0–12 to claim their eighth championship title overall and a first title in two years.[5][6]

Bruree's Séamus O'Connell was the championship's top scorer with 2-55.

Format change

Proposals by a review committee in relation to the structure of the championship were adopted by the Limerick County Board. These proposals introduced a group stage phase, guaranteeing each team three games, before progressing to a knockout phase. The new championship structure was confined to club teams. This meant that the three divisional sides - Emmets, Geraldines and Western Gaels - did not field teams.[7]
