The 1957 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 36th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Kilkenny entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Leinster Championship.[1][2]
The All-Ireland final was played on 6 October 1957 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Limerick and London, in what was their first meeting in a final in three years. Limerick won the match by 5-12 to 2-05 to claim their fourth championship title overall and a first title since 1954.[3][4]
