The 2016–17 Dr Harty Cup was the 97th staging of the Harty Cup since its establishment in hurling by the Munster Council of Gaelic Athletic Association in 1918.[1] The group stage placings were released in July 2016. The competition ran from 12 October 2016 to 18 February 2017.

Ardscoil Rís unsuccessfully defended its title in the quarter-final replay against Midleton CBS[2][3]

The Harty Cup final was played on 18 February 2017 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between Our Lady's Secondary School and St Colman's College, in what was their second meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in 15 years.[4] Our Lady's Secondary School won the match by 2–22 to 1–06 to claim their second Harty Cup title overall and last final title meeting after a hiattus since 1978.[5][6]

Thurles CBS's Darragh Woods was the top scorer with 3-38.

Format change

There was a restructuring of the group stage, resulting in an increase in the number of groups. 19 teams entered the Harty Cup, with eight groups being created. Five groups contained two teams and three groups contained three teams. Two teams advanced from each of the groups to the knockout round of 16.[7]
