This week marks the 25th anniversary of our All Ireland Club title and well be posting some memories over the coming days of the day we made history becoming the first Clare Club to win the Tommy Moore Cup.

The 1995–96 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 26th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship began on 30 September 1995 and ended on 17 March 1996.

Birr of Offaly were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being defeated in the Offaly Senior Championship.[1]

On 17 March 1996, Sixmilebridge won the championship after a 5-10 to 2-06 defeat of Dunloy in the All-Ireland final at Croke Park.[2] It remains their only championship title.

Sixmilebridge's Gerry McInerney was the championship's top scorer with 5-15.
