The 2020 Lory Meagher Cup is the 12th staging of the Lory Meagher Cup, the Gaelic Athletic Association's fifth tier inter-county hurling championship.

This year's cup was contested between Cavan, Fermanagh and Louth. Lancashire were supposed to compete in the competition; however, they didn't due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship was scheduled to begin in May but will take place in October and November.[1]

The previous year's cup was won by Leitrim after defeating Lancashire in the final.[2] Leitrim advanced to the 2020 Nicky Rackard Cup. Louth were relegated from the 2019 Nicky Rackard Cup after losing a relegation playoff against Monaghan.[3]

Louth were the winners, defeating Fermanagh in the final.[4]
