The 1965 All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship was the 35th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928.
Cork entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Limerick in the Munster semi-final.[1][2]
The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 5 September 1965 between Dublin and Limerick, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Dublin won the match by 4-10 to 2-07 to claim their fourth All-Ireland title overall and a first title in 11 years.[3][4]
