The 1986 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 65th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Wexford entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Leinster Championship.[1]
The All-Ireland final was played on 24 August 1986 at Semple Stadium in Thurles, between Kilkenny and Limerick, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Kilkenny won the match by 1-17 to 0-15 to claim their sixth championship title overall and a first title since 1984.[2] [3] [4]
