The 1936–37 Harty Cup was the 18th staging of the Harty Cup since the establishment of the hurling competition by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1918.[1] The draw for the opening round fixtures took place on 19 October 1936. The competition contested from 18 February to 17 April 1937 at the Castle Grounds in Lismore.
