Contents

Kilkenny were the defending champions. [1] [2]

New York won the 2023 title. [3] It was their first ever championship in football and their first piece of silverware since winning the 1966–67 National Football League.[ citation needed ]

Format

Since 2022, the All-Ireland Junior Championship has been confined to just four teams; New York, Kilkenny and the winner and runner-up of the British Junior Football Championship.
