The Ulster Minor Football Championship is the Minor "knockout" competition in the game of Gaelic football played in the province of Ulster in Ireland. The series of games are organised by the Ulster Council. The trophy for the winning side is The Liam Murray Cup. The competition began in 1930, with Armagh winning during the inaugural year. The most successful county to date is Tyrone who have won on twenty one occasions. The winner and the beaten finalist represent Ulster in the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship.

2007 final controversy

The current Ulster Minor football champions are Tyrone, winners of this year's title in perhaps the most controversial of circumstances in the competition's history. Unfortunately for their Derry opponents, the umpire failed to spot that one of Tyrone's scores was actually wide. As the Ulster Council failed to move with the times and use the conclusive video evidence, (presumably for fear of setting precedent), Tyrone go down in the record books as 2007 Champions.
