Mid Cork Junior A Hurling Championship
The Mid Cork Junior A Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Muskerry Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1926 for junior hurling teams in the Muskerry region in County Cork, Ireland.
The series of games begin in May, with the championship culminating with the final in September. The championship includes a knock-out stage and a "back door" for teams defeated in the first round.
The Mid Cork Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior Hurling Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Mid Cork championship join their counterparts from the other six divisions to contest the county championship.
Nine clubs currently participate in the Mid Cork Championship. The title has been won at least once by ten different teams. The all-time record-holders are Cloughduv, who have won a total of 22 titles.
Cloughduv are the title-holders after defeating Ballinora by 2-23 to 0-9 in the 2018 championship final.
Qualification for subsequent competitions
The Mid Cork Championship winners and runners-up qualify for the subsequent Cork Junior Hurling Championship. Prior to 2017 only the winners were permitted to progress to the county championship.Roll of honour
