The Harty Cup final was played on 18 February 2017 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Our Lady's Secondary School and St Colman's College, in what was their second meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in 15 years.[4] Our Lady's Secondary School won the match by 2–22 to 1–06 to claim their second Harty Cup title overall and last final title meeting after a hiattus since 1978.[5] [6]
Thurles CBS's Darragh Woods was the top scorer with 3-38.
