The 1975 Croke Cup was the 24th staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. The competition ran from 23 March to 20 April 1975.
St Finbarr's College were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Thurles CBS in the Harty Cup first round.[1][2]
The final was played on 20 April 1975 at Semple Stadium in Thurles, between St Kieran's College and Coláiste Iognáid Rís, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[3] St Kieran's College won the match by 6–09 to 2–03 to claim a seventh Croke Cup title overall and a first title in four years.[4][5]
