The 1960 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 69th staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887. The championship ran from 11 September to 16 October 1960.

Thurles Sarsfields were the defending champions.

The final was played on 16 October 1960 at Páirc Shíleáin in Templemore, between Toomevara and Thurles Sarsfields, in what was their second meeting in the final in three years. Toomevara won the match by 3–15 to 2–08 to claim their 10th championship title overall and a first title in 29 years.

Format change

A proposal by the county board secretary that both the winners and runners-up from each of the four divisions take part in the county series of games was adopted. This increased the number of participating teams to eight, while also providing an extra round of games.
