The Cork Junior Championship was introduced in 1895 as a countywide competition for teams deemed not eligible for the senior grade or second-string senior teams. At the time of its creation it was the second tier of Cork hurling.
In its current format, the Cork Junior A Championship begins in September following the completion of the seven Divisional Junior Championships. The 7 participating teams compete in a single-elimination tournament which culminates with the final match at Páirc Uí Rinn in October or November. The winner of the Cork Junior A Championship, as well as being presented with the John Quirke Cup, gains promotion to the Cork Premier Junior Hurling Championship.
The competition has been won by 72 teams, 28 of which have won it more than once. Carrigtwohill are the most successful team in the championships history, having won it 6 times. Erin's Own are the title holders, beating Kilshannig by 1-30 to 3-20 after extra time after a replay in the 2022 final.
History Edit
Officially known as the Cork Junior A Hurling Championship, it is regarded as one of the most hotly contested and most difficult to win of all the county championships. Established in 1895 as the "seconds championship", by the 1930s it developed along divisional lines due to the increased number of clubs participating.[citation needed]
The first championship took place in 1895 when Blackrock were crowned junior champions.

Trophy Edit
The winning team is presented with the John Quirke Cup. Born in Milltown, County Kerry, Johnny Quirke (1911–1983) played hurling for Blackrock and was a member of the Cork senior hurling team for 14 years, during which time he won four successive All-Ireland Championships between 1941 and 1944. He served as a Cork selector for many years and was deeply involved at all levels with the Blackrock club.[2]
