Cork entered the championship as defending champions in search of a third successive title, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster semi-final.[1][2]
Format change
For the first time in its history, the Munster Under-20 Championship replaced its traditional straight knockout format with a group stage.[3] This guaranteed all teams at least two games. The All-Ireland semi-finals, which featured the defeated provincial finalists in 2018 and 2019, will be discontinued.
