The 2009 Lory Meagher Cup was the inaugural edition of the Lory Meagher Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association as the fourth-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It was contested by eight GAA county teams ranked 29–36 in the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.
Seven county teams and one regional team took part in the competition. The teams were Warwickshire, Longford, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Cavan, South Down, Tyrone and Donegal.
On 11 July, Tyrone won the inaugural Lory Meagher Cup, with a 5–11 to 3–16 win over Donegal at Croke Park.[1] As the winners of the 2009 Lory Meagher Cup, Tyrone were promoted to the 2010 Nicky Rackard Cup.
