The 2022 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 92nd staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928. The championship began on 5 March 2022 and ended on 3 July 2022.
Cork entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Clare in the Munster semi-final.[1][2][3][4]
The All-Ireland final was played at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny on 3 July 2022 between Tipperary and Offaly, in what was their first meeting in a final in 35 years.[5] Tipperary won the match by 1-17 to 1-16 to claim a record-equalling 21st championship title overall and their first title since 2016.[6][7][8][9]
