The 1969–70 Harty Cup was the 50th staging of the Harty Cup since the establishment of the hurling competition by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1918.[1] In a change to recent years, teams were reduced from 15 to 13-a-side. The competition contested from 19 October 1969 to 22 March 1970 at Dr Mannix Sportsfield in Charleville.
St Finbarr's College unsuccessfully defended its title in the first round losing to Limerick CBS.[2] [3]
North Monastery won the Harty Cup final on 22 March 1970, 6–05 to 4–07, against Limerick CBS, in what was their fourth overall meeting in the competition and second meeting in the final after a hiatus since 1955; and North Monastery's 14th successive Harty Cup title overall after their first title since 1961.[4] [5]
North Monastery's Gerry Hanley was the top scorer with 6–10.
