The 1971 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 41st staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928. The championship ran from 16 May to 5 September 1971.

Cork entered the championship as the defending champions.

The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 5 September 1971 between Cork and Kilkenny, in what was their fifth All-Ireland final meeting overall and a first in two years. Cork won the match by 2-11 o 1-11 to claim their 11th All-Ireland title overall and a third title in succession.

Cork's Pat Buckley was the championship's top scorer with 4-28.

Format change

Antrim moved provinces to participate in the Leinster Championship. The Ulster Championship continued to be held as a standalone competition, with the winners participating in a special lower-tier All-Ireland Championship.
