The 2018 All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship will be the 55th staging of the All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1964. The championship will begin in May 2018 and will end in September 2018.
Limerick will be the defending champions.
The 2018 championship will see the biggest change in format since the establishment of the championship in 1964.
Central Council motions to alter the format of the championship were endorsed by the GAA's Special Congress on 30 September 2017. The proposal to allow Galway Galway and Ulster teams as agreed by the Leinster and Ulster Councils into the Leinster Championship was backed by 72% of delegates. The original recommendation would have ended All-Ireland semi-finals as the Munster winners were set to face off against the Leinster victors from next year. However, Cork argued that they should be retained with the Munster champions taking on the runners-up in Leinster and vice-versa. Their idea was endorsed by 78% of delegates.
