Notes:
- Antrim only team entered
- 1968 was a "B" Grade competition. Antrim represented Ulster in the All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship.
- The 2008 competition was organised on a league basis, with each team playing one another once. Therefore there was no final, Derry clinched the Championship in their final league game against Down.
