The 1985 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 64th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Kilkenny entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Leinster Championship.[1]

The All-Ireland final was played on 18 August 1985 at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny, between Wexford and Tipperary, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Wexford won the match by 3-09 to 1-13 to claim their first ever championship title.[2][3][4]
