The 2022 All-Ireland Under-20 Hurling Championship was the fourth staging of the All-Ireland Under-20 Championship and the 59th staging overall of a hurling championship for players between the minor and senior grades. The championship began on 2 April 2022 and ended on 22 May 2022.
Cork entered the championship as defending champions in search of a third successive title, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster semi-final.[1] [2]
The final was played on 22 May 2022 at Semple Stadium in Thurles, between Kilkenny and Limerick, in what was their first meeting in a final in five years.[3] Kilkenny won the match by 0-19 to 0-18 to claim their 12th championship title overall and a first title since 2008.[4] [5]
Kilkenny's Billy Drennan was the championship's top scorer with 1-40.
For the first time in its history, the Munster Under-20 Championship replaced its traditional straight knockout format with a group stage.[6] This guaranteed all teams at least two games. The All-Ireland semi-finals, which featured the defeated provincial finalists in 2018 and 2019, will be discontinued.
