The 2023 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 91st staging of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912. The championship ran from 14 July to 16 July 2023.

Kilkenny were the defending champions.[1][2]

New York won the 2023 title.[3] It was their first ever championship in football and their first piece of silverware since winning the 1966–67 National Football League.

Format

Since 2022, the All-Ireland Junior Championship has been confined to just four teams; New York, Kilkenny and the winner and runner-up of the British Junior Football Championship. Prior to the change, the championship previously featured a provincial structure for all junior Gaelic football inter-county teams in Ireland.[4]
