2001–02 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship


The 2001–02 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 32nd 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 2001 and ended on 17 March 2002.
Athenry were the defending champions but were defeated by Clarinbridge in the county championship and thus failed to qualify. Clarinbridge, O'Loughlin Gaels, Adare and Clonkill were all first-time participants in the championship, while Kilmoyley and Ballinkillen made returns after prolonged absences.
On 17 March 2002, Birr won the championship following a 2-10 to 1-5 defeat of Clarinbridge in the All-Ireland final. This was their third All-Ireland title overall and their first title in four championship seasons.
Ballygunner's Paul Flynn was the championship's top scorer with 1-42.
