The 2021–22 Harty Cup was the 101st staging of the Harty Cup since its establishment in hurling by the Munster Council of Gaelic Athletic Association in 1918.[1] The competition contested from 8 November 2021 to 5 February 2022.[2]

The 2021–22 Dr Harty Cup adopted a change in format. Prior to 2021, the competition began with group stage, the knockout stage commencing after Christmas. The new format saw six first-round games, with three winners moving forward to the quarter-finals while the other three winners, six losers and Gaelcholáiste Mhuire contesting five second-round ties to determine the other last-eight teams.[3]

St Flannan's College unsuccessfully defended its title in round 2 against Cashel Community School.[4][5]

St Joseph's Secondary School won the Harty Cup final on 5 February 2022 at TUS Gaelic Grounds, 1–17 to 1–14, in Limerick, against Ardscoil Rís, in what was St Joseph's first ever meeting in a final and their first ever Harty Cup title.[6]

St Joseph's Secondary School's Seán Withycombe was the top scorer.
