The 1998–99 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 29th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship ran from 11 October 1998 to 17 March 1999.
Birr of Offaly were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by St Rynagh's in the semi-finals of the 1998 Offaly SHC. Graigue–Ballycallan of Kilkenny and St Joseph's Doora-Barefield of Clare made their championship debuts.
The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 17 March 1999, between St Joseph's Doora-Barefield of Clare and Rathnure of Wexford, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. St Joseph's Doora-Barefield won the match by 2–14 to 0–08 to claim a first title.
Rathnure's Paul Codd was the championship's top scorer with 1–24.
