The 1995 Limerick Senior Hurling Championship was the 101st staging of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Limerick County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 21 June to 1 October 1995.

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

The final was played on 24 September 1995 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Patrickswell and Ballybrown, in what was their third meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in the final in eight years. Patrickswell won the match by 2–19 to 0–08 to claim their 14th championship title overall and a first title in two years.[4][5]
