The 2008 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 78th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928. The championship began on 29 March 2008 and ended on 7 September 2008.

Tipperary entered the championship as the defending champions in search of a third successive title, however, they were beaten by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final.[1]

On 7 September 2008 Kilkenny won the championship following a 3-6 to 0-13 defeat of Galway in a replay of the All-Ireland final.[2] This was their 19th All-Ireland title overall and their first title since 2003.

Wexford's Michael O'Hanlon was the championship's top scorer with 3-37.

  • The Leinster Championship game between Westmeath and Wicklow went ahead in spite of the latter team only fielding 13 players.

After training by 9-22 to no score, the Wicklow players refused to line out for the second half and the match was awarded to Kildare.
