The 1994 Croke Cup was the 43rd staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. The competition ran from 17 April to 24 April 1994.

The final was played on 24 April 1994 at MacDonagh Park in Nenagh, between the North Monastery and St Mary's College, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[3] The North Monastery won the match by 1–10 to 1–06 to claim their fifth Croke Cup title overall and a first title in nine years.[4][5][6] It remains their last Croke Cup title.
