The 2004 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 83rd and final staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Mayo entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Meath in the All-Ireland semi-final.[1]
The All-Ireland final was played on 14 August 2004 at St. Tiernach's Park in Clones, between Meath and Down, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Meath won the match by 1-10 to 1-06 to claim their sixth championship title overall and a first title in five years.[2] [3] [4]
