# 2023 Wexford Senior Hurling Championship

The 2023 Wexford Senior Hurling Championship was the 113th staging of the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Wexford County Board in 1889. The draw for the group stage places took place on 31 January 2023. The championship ran from 30 June to 20 August 2023.
Ferns St Aidan's entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Oylegate-Glenbrien at the quarter-final stage. Rathnure's relegation ended 82 years of top tier hurling for the club.
The final was played on 20 August 2023 at Chadwick's Wexford Park, between Naomh Éanna and Oylegate-Glenbrien, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Naomh Éanna won the match by 2-18 to 2-12 to claim their second championship title overall and a first title in five years.
