The Munster Under-21 Football Championship is the premier "knockout" competition for players aged between 18 and 21 in the game of Gaelic football played in the province of Munster, in Ireland.
The series of games are organised by the Munster council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and are played during the summer months.
The winners represent Munster in the All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship semi-finals. Cork and Kerry have the best records of any counties in both the provincial and national competition.
The winning trophy, Corn na Casca, was presented by the Munster Council in 1966 to commemorate the jubilee of the 1916 Rising.
Kerry are the current Munster Under-21 Champions.
