We revealed that the hydrogen-rich cataclysmic variable 1RXS J232953.9+062814 is an SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a superhump period of 66.774±0.010 min. A photometric orbital period is determined to be 64.184±0.003 min, which is below the period minimum. Although the standard evolutionary scenario of cataclysmic variables predicts lower mass-transfer rates in systems with shorter orbital periods, its short recurrence time of outbursts and bright apparent magnitude indicate that this object has a relatively high mass-transfer rate. With the analogous system V485 Cen, these objects establish the first subpopulation in hydrogen-rich cataclysmic variables below the period minimum. Concerning the evolutionary status of them, we propose that they are progenitors of AM CVn stars on evolutionary courses in which systems have an evolved secondary star with a hydrogen-exhausted core.
