The All-Ireland final was played on 12 January 2025 at Croke Park in Dublin, between St Lachtain's from Kilkenny and Russell Rovers from Cork, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[1] St Lachtain's won the match by 1-18 to 0-16 to claim their first All-Ireland Junior title.[2][3]

Ballinascreen's Eamon Conway was the championship's top scorer.

Format

Several Irish counties play a county hurling championship, with one club progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Junior Championship. This includes:

  • the top-tier competition (Senior County Championship) in several high-ranked hurling counties.
  • the second-tier competition (called the Intermediate or Junior Championship) in some mid-ranked hurling counties
  • the third-tier competition (called the Junior, Premier Junior, Junior 1 or Junior A Championship) in the low-ranked hurling counties

Each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland Junior semi-finals. In Ulster, the nine teams play off, with the winner of the 'home' final playing the winners of the All-Britain Junior Club Hurling Championship in the Ulster final.

The senior champions of the top hurling counties play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. Other county winners play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.
