The 2020 Christy Ring Cup final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 22 November 2020. It was contested by Kildare and Down.
Kildare won the competition for a second time in three years and third in total.[1]
Down had qualified for the final by causing an upset through knocking Offaly out in the semi-final. The team did so in a first ever inter-county hurling penalty shootout.[2][3] However, even though Down lost the ultimate game, both finalists were promoted to the 2021 Joe McDonagh Cup.[4]
David Herity was Kildare manager.[5]
