The 2003 All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship was the 40th staging of the All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1964.

Limerick were the defending champions, however, they were defeated in their quest for a record-equalling fourth successive All-Ireland title by Cork in the Munster semi-final.

On 21 September 2003, Kilkenny won the championship following a 2-13 to 0-12 defeat of Galway in the All-Ireland final.^[1] This was their 8th All-Ireland title in the under-21 grade and their first in four championship seasons.
