    The 1980 Croke Cup was the 29th staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. The competition ran from 30 March to 27 April 1980.

    St Flannan's College were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by St Colman's College in the Harty Cup semi-final.[1][2]

    The final was played on 27 April 1980 at Semple Stadium in Thurles, between the North Monastery and St Brendan's Community School, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[3] The North Monastery won the match by 5–11 to 3–07 to claim their third Croke Cup title overall and a first title in 10 years.[4][5][6]

    Aidan Rosney was the top scorer with 1-13.
