The Dean Ryan Cup is an annual inter-schools hurling competition organised by the Munster PPS division of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). Sometimes referred to throughout its history as the Munster Colleges Junior Hurling Championship or the Munster PPS Under-17 A Hurling Championship, it has been contested since 1936.
The final, typically held in November, serves as the culmination of a knockout series of games played between October and November. Eligible players must be under the age of 17.
As of 2025, 11 teams participate in the Dean Ryan Cup. The title has been won at least once by 19 different schools, 11 of which have won the title more than once. Thurles CBS are the all-time title record-holders at 14 times.
Midleton CBS were the 2024 champions, having beaten Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG by 5-15 to 1-11 in the final.
