Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox All-Ireland Hurling The 1959 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 29th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928.
Limerick entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster final.
On 6 September 1959 Tipperary won the championship following a 2-8 to 2-7 defeat of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. This was their 12th All-Ireland title and their first in two championship seasons.
Provincial changes
Due to a lack of competition in their own province, the Galway County Board proposed a regrading to junior status for their senior team in January 1958. This led to a wider debate regarding Galway's isolated position in a province where they faced little credible opposition. At a meeting of the Munster Council on 10 January 1959 it was decided to invite Galway to participate in all grades of hurling in Munster on a temporary basis. This decision was later ratified at the GAA Congress.
