The 2001 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 71st staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier under-18 inter-county hurling tournament. The championship began on 21 April 2001 and ended on 9 September 2001.
Galway were the defending champions and were hoping to win a third successive championship.[1]
On 9 September 2001, Cork won the championship following a 2-10 to 1-8 defeat of Galway in the All-Ireland final.[2] This was their 18th All-Ireland title, their first in three championship seasons. It remains their last All-Ireland victory.
