Kerry were the defending champions, however, they did not field a team because of a change in championship format. [1]

The All-Ireland final was played on 10 July 2022 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Kilkenny and New York, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Kilkenny won the match by 3-12 to 1-09 to claim their first ever championship title. [2] [3]

Format

After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the All-Ireland Junior Championship returned with a new format confined to just four teams; New York, Kilkenny and the winner and runner-up of the British Junior Football Championship. Prior to the change, the championship previously featured a provincial structure for all junior Gaelic football inter-county teams in Ireland. [4]
