The 2017 Lory Meagher Cup was the ninth 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 six GAA county teams ranked 30–35 in the 2017 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.[1]
Louth, the 2016 champions, play in the Nicky Rackard Cup having won promotion. Cavan returned to senior inter-county hurling in 2017 by entering The Lory Meagher Cup. They had disbanded midway through the 2011 season.[2]
