The 2009 Lory Meagher Cup was the inaugural edition of the Lory Meagher Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association as the fourth-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It was contested by eight GAA county teams ranked 29–36 in the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.

Seven county teams and one regional team took part in the competition. The teams were Warwickshire, Longford, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Cavan, South Down, Tyrone and Donegal.
