The 2021 Lory Meagher Cup was the 13th staging of the Lory Meagher Cup hurling championship.[citation needed]
Competition Format[]
Cup format
The format was changed for 2021, with 5 teams playing across two groups, one with 3 teams and one with 2 teams based on an open draw.[1]
Group A featured 3 teams and was played in a single Round Robin format with each team having one home game and one away game.
Group B featured 2 teams who played a single fixture.
All teams played a knockout format after this group stage, with the group winners and second-placed team in Group A being placed in the semi-finals. A tie between the third-placed team in Group A and second-placed team in Group B determined the fourth semi-finalist.
All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
