The GAA Hurling All-Ireland Under-17 Championship features four teams in the final tournament.

It was the sixth All-Ireland championship to be created after the senior, intermediate, junior, under-21 and minor grades.

The Munster and Leinster champions are put on opposite sides of the draw in separate semi-finals.

The Antrim and Galway teams are also put on opposite sides of the draw in separate semi-finals.

Unlike the minor championship, the Munster and Leinster runners-up are not allowed to contest the All-Ireland series.
