The 2017 All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship will be the 54th staging of the All-Ireland inter-county championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1964. The championship will begin in May 2017 and is scheduled to end in September 2017.
Waterford will enter the championship as the defending champions.[1][2]
Format
Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial under-21 championship. Connacht do not organise a provincial championship and are represented by Galway. The three provincial champions and Galway enter the All-Ireland semi-finals.
Trophy
In September 2016 the GAA unveiled a new trophy named The James Nowlan Cup to be presented to the All-Ireland under-21 hurling champions.[3]
The old trophy, the Cross of Cashel, was retired after the 2015 final having been introduced in 1967.
