The 2019 All-Ireland Under-20 Hurling Championship was the inaugural staging of the All-Ireland Under-20 Championship and the 56th staging overall of a hurling championship for players between the minor and senior grades. Prior to 2019 an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship was held. The championship began on 25 May 2019 and ended on 24 August 2019.

Tipperary were the defending champions and went on to retain the title.[1]

On 24 August 2019, Tipperary won the championship following a 5-17 to 1-18 defeat of Cork in the All-Ireland final.[2] This was their 11th All-Ireland title overall and their second title in succession.[3]

Offaly's Cathal Kiely was the championship's top scorer with 0-44.
