The 2024–25 All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship is the 21st staging of the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's junior inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship is scheduled to run from 26 October 2024 to January 2025.
Format
[edit]Several Irish counties play a county hurling championship, with one club progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Intermediate Championship. This includes:
- the top-tier competition (Senior County Championship) in several low-ranked hurling counties, as well as continental Europe
- the second-tier competition (called the Intermediate or Junior Championship) in some mid-ranked hurling counties
- the third-tier competition (called the Junior, Premier Junior, Junior 1 or Junior A Championship) in the top-ranked hurling counties
Each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland Junior semi-finals. The European champions play in the Leinster championship. In Ulster, the nine teams play off, with the winner of the 'home' final playing the winners of the All-Britain Junior Club Hurling Championship in the Ulster final.
The senior champions of the top hurling counties play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. Other county winners play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.
