College

During his schooling at Ardscoil Rís in Limerick, Lynch established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2014 he won a Harty Cup medal following a 2-13 to 0-4 trouncing of Limerick rivals Scoil na Trionóide, Doon.

Minor and under-21

Lynch was just fifteen-years-old when he first played for Limerick as a member of the minor team on 2 May 2012. He scored 0-11 on his debut in a 0-16 to 1-12 Munster quarter-final defeat of Cork.

In 2013 Lynch was at left wing-back as Limerick faced Waterford in the provincial decider. As Waterford looked to be heading for victory, a last-minute goal from substitute Tom Morrissey ensured a 2-19 apiece draw. The replay was also a close affair, however, Cian Lynch's first-half stoppage time goal proved decisive as Limerick ended a 29-year wait for the title with a 1-20 to 4-8 victory. It was Lynch's first Munster medal.

Lynch was eligible for the minor grade once again in 2014, as Waterford faced the team in the Munster final for a second year in succession. Limerick looked all set to retain their title when leading their opponents by three points in added time, however, Waterford substitute Shane Ryan struck for a dramatic late goal to send the game to a replay. The replay was also a close affair, however, Limerick pulled away in the end to secure a 0-24 to 0-18 victory and a second Munster medal for Lynch. On 7 September 2014 Limerick faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. A 2-5 haul from Kilkenny corner-forward John Walsh ensured a 2-17 to 0-19 defeat for Lynch's side.
