The 1932 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 15th staging of the championship since its establishment by the GAA in 1912.

The competition format saw the four provincial champions compete in two 'Home' semi-finals, the winners of which then contested the All-Ireland 'Home' final.

In the last stage of the competition, the victorious 'Home' finalists then met the champions of Britain to determine who would be crowned overall All-Ireland Junior Football Champions for 1932.

The title match at the Drogheda Gaelic Grounds concluded with Louth defeating London, the representatives of Britain, on a scoreline of 0–06 to 0–04. This was Louth's second triumph in the competition, following on from the county's initial success in 1925.
