The 1912 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the first staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's second tier Gaelic football championship.

The All-Ireland final was played on 23 February 1913 at Jones's Road in Dublin, between Tipperary and Louth, in what was their first ever championship meeting.[1] Tipperary recovered from a half-time deficit of five points to win the match by 1–04 to 1–03 and claim their first championship title.[2][3][4]
