The Lory Meagher Cup (Irish: Chorn Labhraí Uí Mheachair) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association since 2009. It is a competition for the fourth tier of hurling teams in the Gaelic Athletic Association.

It is an extension of the Guinness All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the premier knock-out hurling competition. The series of games are organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association and are played during the summer months with the final being played in Croke Park, Dublin. The winners of the Lory Meagher trophy are promoted to the Nicky Rackard Cup competition for the following year.

The cup and competition are named after Lory Meagher, a hurler from Kilkenny. The inaugural Lory Meagher Cup final was played on the 11th of July 2009, in which Tyrone defeated Donegal.
