The 2019 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 89th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928. The championship began on 27 April 2019 and ended on 18 August 2019.

Galway were the defending champions.^[1]

On 18 August 2019, Galway won the championship after a 3-14 to 0-12 defeat of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.^[2] This was their 13th title overall and their third title in succession.

Competition format[edit]

The championship begins on a provincial basis in only two of the four provinces – Munster and Leinster. There is no Ulster Championship as Ulster teams participate in the Leinster Championship. Galway are the sole Connacht representatives and enter the competition at the All-Ireland quarter-final group stage with the beaten Leinster and Munster finalists. This ensures that Galway have at least two championship games.^[3]
