The 2022 All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Croke Cup was the 69th staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. It was the first Croke Cup to be completed in three years as the 2020 and 2021 competitions were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] The competition ran from 19 February to 17 March 2022.
