The 2020 All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship was the 38th contested edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's tertiary inter-county Ladies' Gaelic football tournament.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games forced the delay of the tournament until late in the year.
Fermanagh LGFA were the winners for the second time in their history and will play in the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship in 2021.
