The championship

Overview

The 2010 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. It was a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random in the respective provinces - there was no seeds.

Each match was played as a single leg. If a match was drawn a period of extra time was played; however, if both sides were still level at the end of extra time a replay will take place.
