The 2014 Croke Cup was the 63rd staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. The competition ran from 15 March to 5 April 2014.
Dungarvan Colleges were the defending champions, however, that amalgamated team disbanded.[1][2][3] The Connacht Championship runners-up were allowed to contest the All-Ireland series for the first time.
The final was played on 5 April 2014 at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny, between St Kieran's College and Kilkenny CBS, in what was their first ever meeting in the final but their second meeting that season.[4] St Kieran's College won the match by 2–16 to 0–13 to claim their 19th Croke Cup title overall and their first title in three years.[5][6]
Colin Ryan was the top scorer with 0–17.
