The 2020 All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship was the 38th contested edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's tertiary inter-county Ladies' Gaelic football tournament.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games forced the delay of the tournament until late in the year.[3][4][5]

Fermanagh LGFA were the winners for the second time in their history and will play in the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship in 2021.[6]

Format[]

Group Stage[]

6 counties competed in the 2020 tournament. There were two groups of three. Each team played the other team's in their group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.

Knockout Stage[]

The winner of group A competed in the All-Ireland semi-final against the runner up of group B, and the winner of group B played the runner up of group A.
