The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 1983 ran from May to September of that year. The All-Ireland Hurling Final was won by Kilkenny who beat Cork by 2–14 to 2–12.

Format

The provincial championships in Munster and Leinster were all played on a knock-out basis as usual. In keeping with the rotation system for advancement to the All-Ireland final, the Leinster champions automatically qualified for the final of 1983. Galway, having no competition in the Connacht Championship, played the winners of a preliminary game between Kerry and Antrim. The winners of this quarter-final went on to play the Munster champions in a single All-Ireland semi-final.
