The 2015 Lory Meagher Cup was the seventh edition of the Lory Meagher Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2009 and is the fourth-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It is contested by five GAA county teams ranked 31–35 in the 2015 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The championship began on 2 May 2015 and ended on 6 June 2015.

Longford were the defending champions but were successful in gaining promotion to the Nicky Rackard Cup.[1][2] Lancashire fielded a team for the very first time.[3]

On 6 June 2015, Fermanagh won the championship following a 3–16 to 1–17 defeat of Sligo in the cup final. This was their first Lory Meagher Cup title.

Leitrim's Pádraig O'Donnell was the championship's top scorer with 2-32. John Duffy of Fermanagh was the Lory Meagher Player of the Year.
