The 2020 Nicky Rackard Cup is the 16th staging of the Nicky Rackard Cup hurling championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2005. It is the fourth tier hurling as of 2020.[1]

Warwickshire were supposed to compete in the Rackard Cup but did not due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship was scheduled to begin in May 2020 but was delayed until 24 October 2020.[2]

Donegal were the winners, defeating Mayo in the final after earlier wins over Longford, Armagh and Tyrone.[3]
