The 1928 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 11th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Meath entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Leinster Championship.[1]

The All-Ireland final was played on 5 May 1929 at Waterford Sportsfield, between Kilkenny and Tipperary, in what was their first meeting in a final since 1913. Kilkenny won the match by 4-06 to 4-04 to claim their first ever championship title.[2][3][4]
