The 2021 Christy Ring Cup was the 17th staging of the Christy Ring Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2005. The cup began on 26 June 2021 and ended on 1 August 2021.[1]

Covid-19 caused all London games to be postponed for an extra year.

The final was played on 1 August 2021 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Offaly and Derry, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Offaly won the match by 0-41 to 2-14 to claim their first ever cup title.[2][3][4]

Offaly's Eoghan Cahill was the Ring Cup's top scorer with 0-36.
