The 1995 All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship was the 22nd staging of the All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1974. The championship ran from 7 May to 6 July 1995.
Roscommon were the defending champions, however, they availed of their right to promotion to the Connacht Senior Hurling Championship and did not field a team.[1][2]
The All-Ireland final was played at O'Moore Park in Portlaoise on 2 July 1995 between London and Wicklow, in what was their first ever meeting in the All-Ireland final. London won the match by 2-07 to 0-08 to claim a record fifth All-Ireland title overall and a first title in five years.[3]
