The 1995 Croke Cup was the 44th staging of the Croke Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1944. The competition ran from 2 April to 30 April 1995.

The North Monastery were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Lismore CBS in the Harty Cup semi-final.

The final was played on 30 April 1995 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, between St. Raphael's College and Midleton CBS Secondary School, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. St Raphael's College won the match by 3–10 to 3–05 to claim their first ever Croke Cup title. They remain the only Galway school to have claimed the title.

Kevin Broderick was the top scorer with 5-06.
