Clarecastle entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Cratloe in the quarter-finals.[1] Cratloe joined the championship as Clare IHC winners from the previous year. Tubber and Ruan amalgamated and contested the championship as Tubber/Ruan.

The final was played on 29 October 1995 at Cusack Park in Ennis, between Sixmilebridge and Scariff, in what was their second meeting overall in the final and a first meeting in 43 years. Sixmilebridge won the match by 2–10 to 0–15 to claim their eighth championship title overall and a first title in two years.[2][3][4] Sixmilebridge's Gerry McInerney was the championship's top scorer with 3–13.

Sixmilebridge later became the first Clare club to win the All-Ireland Club SHC after beating Dunloy in the 1996 All-Ireland club final.[5]
