Ulster Junior Hurling Championship

The Ulster Junior Hurling Championship was a junior "knockout" competition in the game of Hurling played in the province of Ulster in Ireland. The series of games was organised by the Ulster Council.

The winners of the Ulster Junior Hurling Championship each year progressed to play the other provincial champions for a chance to win the All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship.

The competition has not been played since 2004, as all the counties now participate in either the Ulster Junior Club Hurling Championship, Joe McDonagh Cup, Christy Ring Cup, Nicky Rackard Cup or Lory Meagher Cup.
