The Munster GAA Hurling Under-20 Championship, known simply as the Munster Under-20 Championship, is an annual inter-county hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is the highest inter-county hurling competition for male players between the ages of 17 and 20 in the province of Munster. The championship was contested as the Munster Under-21 Championship between 1964 and 2018 before changing to an under-20 age category from 2019. It is sponsored by Bord Gáis Energy.
The final, currently held in May, serves as the culmination of a series of games played during a six-week period, and the results determine which team receives the J. J. Kenneally Perpetual Memorial Cup..
The Munster Championship is an integral part of the wider GAA Hurling Under-20 All-Ireland Championship. The winners of the Munster Championship, like their counterparts in the Leinster Championship, advance to the All-Ireland Under 20 Hurling Final.
Five teams currently participate in the Munster Championship. Tipperary are the most successful teams with 23 titles.
Seven teams have competed since the inception of the Munster Championship in 1964. The title has been won at least once by five teams, all of whom have won the title more than once. Tipperary are the current champions.
