The Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 2001 for the top junior hurling clubs in the province of Munster in Ireland. It is currently sponsored by Allied Irish Bank and therefore officially known as the AIB Munster GAA Hurling Junior Club Championship.

The series of games are played during the autumn and winter months with the Munster final currently being played in December. The prize for the winning team is the Corn R. Uí Nialláin. The championship has always been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the series.

The Munster Championship is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Munster final join the champions of Britain, Connacht, Leinster and Ulster in the semi-final stages of the All-Ireland series of games.

Six clubs currently participate in the Munster Championship. The title has been won at least once by clubs representing five of the six Munster counties. Kerry clubs hold the unwanted distinction of never having won the provincial title. Cork clubs have dominated the competition, having won ten titles since the inaugural championship.

Dungourney of Cork are the current champions after defeating Fenor in the 2015 Munster final.
