The 2009 Lory Meagher Cup is the fourth edition of the Lory Meagher Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2009 and is the fourth-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It is contested by five GAA county teams ranked 29–33 in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The draw for the 2012 fixtures took place on 14 November 2011.[1] The competition began on 5 May 2012 and ended on 9 June 2012.

Donegal were the defending champions,[2] however, they availed of their right to promotion to the Nicky Rackard Cup. Tyrone won the competition, defeating Fermanagh in the cup final.[3]
