The '''Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship''' (known for sponsorship reasons as the '''Co-Op Superstores Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship''' and abbreviated to the '''Cork PSHC''') is an annual club [[hurling]] competition organised by the [[Cork GAA|Cork County Board]] of the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] and contested by the top-ranking senior clubs and amalgamated teams in the [[County Cork|county of Cork]] in [[Ireland]], deciding the competition winners through a group and knockout format. It is the most prestigious competition in Cork hurling.

Introduced in [[1887 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1887]] as the '''Cork Senior Hurling Championship''', it was initially a straight knockout tournament open only to senior-ranking club teams, with its winner reckoned as the Cork county champion. The competition took on its current name in [[2020 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship|2020]], adding a round-robin group stage and limiting the number of club and divisional entrants.

In its present format, the Cork Premier Senior Championship begins with a preliminary qualifying round for the divisional teams and educational institutions. The sole surviving team from this stage automatically qualified for the knockout phase. The 12 club teams are drawn into three groups of four teams and play each other in a [[Single round-robin tournament|single round-robin system]]. The three group winners and three runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]] in October. The winner of the Cork Premier Senior Championship, as well as being presented with the Seán Óg Murphy Cup, qualifies for the subsequent [[Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship|Munster Club Championship]]. In 2020, the intended format was disrupted and slightly amended due to the impact of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland|COVID-19 pandemic]].

The competition has been won by 19 teams, 14 of which have won it more than once. [[Blackrock GAA|Blackrock]] is the most successful team in the tournament's history, having won it 33 times. [[Imokilly GAA|Imokilly]] are the reigning champions, having beaten [[Sarsfields GAA (Cork)|Sarsfields]] by 1-23 to 0-17 in the [[2024 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship#Final|2024 final]].

==History==
===19th century===
Following the foundation of the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] in 1884, new rules for [[Gaelic football]] and [[hurling]] were drawn up and published in the ''[[United Irishman (1848 newspaper)|United Irishman]]'' newspaper. Throughout 1886, county committees were established, with the [[Cork GAA|Cork County Board]] affiliating on 19 December 1886. Plans to hold championships in both hurling and football were drawn up over the following weeks, with an advert inviting teams to enter appearing in the ''[[Cork Examiner]]'' on 15 January 1887. The cost of entering a team was 2s 6d and the closing date for entries was 29 January 1887. The championship draw took place at 23 Maylor Street on the day after the closing date and "the utmost good feeling was displayed, and...the contesting parties were agreeably satisfied" as the draw took place. 22 teams from 20 clubs entered. [[Aghada GAA|Agahda]] and [[Blackrock GAA|Cork National Hurling Club]] each entered two teams, while [[Aghabullogue GAA|Aghabullogue]], [[Ballinhassig GAA|Ballinhassig]], [[Ballygarvan GAA|Ballygarvan]], [[Blarney GAA|Blarney]], [[Carrignavar GAA|Carrignavar]], [[Charleville GAA|Charleville]], [[Douglas GAA|Douglas]], [[Evergreen Road GAA|Evergreen Road]], [[Glasheen GAA|Glasheen]], [[Inniscarra GAA|Inniscarra]], [[Little Island GAA|Little Island]], [[Mogeely GAA|Mogeely]], [[Monkstown GAA|Monkstown]], [[Passage West GAA|Passage]], [[Quarry Road GAA|Quarry Road]], [[St. Finbarr's GAA|St. Finbarr's]], [[St Mary's GAA (Shandon)|St Mary's]] and [[Tower Street GAA|Tower Street]] each entered one team.

[[File:Blackrock Road, Cork (15981334943).jpg|thumb|left|[[Blackrock, Cork|Blackrock]] at the turn of the 20th century. Their hurling dominance at county and national level led to the area being nicknamed the "home of hurling".]]

All of the matches in the [[1887 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|inaugural championship]] took place at a special enclosure in Cork City Park, with the first match taking place "in the presence of several thousand persons" at 2;30 pm on 6 March 1887. Mr. J. E. Kennedy acted as referee and Messrs E. Cotter and W. Sheehan performed the duties of goal umpires. Glasheen beat Cork National Hurling Club's 2nd 21 by 1-02 to no score. The championship progressed as matches continued throughout the summer, however, the final stages ended in disarray. The [[1887 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Semi-finals|semi-final]] between Cork Nationals Hurling Club 1st 21 and St. Finbarr's ended after twenty minutes when both sides and the match officials disagreed over the awarding of a point. An emergency meeting of the [[Cork GAA|Cork County Committee]] was held with representatives from [[Passage West GAA|Passage Hurling Club]], St. Finbarr's and the Cork Nationals being brought before the meeting. After some discussion, the Passage Hurling Club agreed to withdraw from the championship. St. Finbarr's agreed to a proposal that lots be drawn between themselves and the Cork Nationals to decide who would represent Cork in the [[1887 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|1887 All-Ireland Championship]]. The Cork Nationals rejected the idea, however, they were later awarded the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/histrionics-a-founding-aspect-to-a-rivalry-that-has-real-history-but-least-we-can-expect-a-game-now-1.634844|title=Histrionics a founding aspect to a rivalry that has real history, but least we can expect a game now|newspaper=Irish Times|date=7 August 2010|access-date=10 November 2017}}</ref>

The [[1888 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1888 championship]] saw an increase in the number of participating teams to 35. In an effort to cut down on travel costs for clubs, the County Board adopted a divisional structure to the championship. The participating teams were divided into six divisions along geographic lines; Cork City, East Cork, Mid Cork, North Cork, North-East Cork and South Cork. There were no hurling clubs in West Cork. The six divisional champions qualified for the county-wide series of games. The first final to be played took place on 29 April 1888, with [[Tower Street GAA|Tower Street]] beating [[Ballygarvan GAA|Ballygarvan]] by 4-01 to 0-01.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ballygarvangaa.ie/en/general/history/12-the-gaa-co-cork-hurling-championship-final-sunday-april-29th-1888.html|title=The G.A.A.

Towards the end of 1888, a serious split in the Association in Cork lead to the existence of three rival and distinct county boards. 40 clubs left the official board and affiliated to the Cork Board, under the presidency of Fr. O'Connor, and the O'Brien Board under the presidency of Fr. Carver.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dromtarriffe.gaa.ie/Pages/ClubHistory.aspx|title=Club History Dromtarriffe GAA|publisher=Dromtarriffe GAA website|access-date=29 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastcorkgaa.com/index.cfm/page/viewNews/id/4893|title=Bride Rovers GAA|publisher=East Cork GAA website|date=8 June 2020|access-date=29 August 2020}}</ref> These three boards ran their own separate championships over the following two seasons, however, the Cork County Board remained as the official administrative branch of the GAA. In [[1890 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|1890]], [[Aghabullogue GAA|Aghabullogue]], as official county champions, became the first Cork representatives to win the [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland Championship]]. The three individual boards unified under the banner of the Cork County Board in 1891, with the championship continuing to be run on a divisional basis. There was such intense interest in the championship that year amongst the general public that it was reported in ''[[The Nation (Irish newspaper)|The Nation]]'' newspaper that the attendance of 16,000 at the [[Blackrock GAA|Blackrock]]-[[St. Finbarr's GAA|St. Finbarr's]] game set a new attendance record for a hurling game in the whole of [[Ireland]]. The championship reverted to a straight knock-out format in [[1892 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1892]]. 14 teams from 10 clubs entered, with the first and second teams being separated in the draw.

===20th century===
[[File:The Burning of Cork (9713428703).jpg|thumb|200px|upright=1.5|Civil unrest following the burning of Cork during the War of Independence led to the 1921 championship being cancelled.]]

A delay in the [[1904 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1904 championship]] meant that the [[1905 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1905 championship]] never took place. In spite of this, St. Finbarr's were subsequently awarded the title after beating [[Ballymartle GAA|Ballymartle]] in the [[1906 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|1906 final]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/cultureincork/sport/stfinbarrsgaaclub/|title=St Finbarr's GAA Club 1876-1933|publisher=Cork Past and Present website|access-date=10 November 2017}}</ref> On 26 January 1908, the newly built [[Cork Athletic Grounds]] hosted the [[1907 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|final]] for the very first time. It remained as the regular final venue for the following 67 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/de-park-cork-s-oval-shaped-coliseum-on-the-banks-of-the-lee-1.1855941|title='De Park' – Cork's oval-shaped coliseum on the banks of the Lee|newspaper=Irish Times|date=5 July 2014|access-date=10 November 2017|first=Keith|last=Duggan}}</ref> The [[War of Independence (Ireland)|War of Independence]] (1919-1921) saw Cork take a prominent role, something which had an adverse effect on the smooth running of the championships. Civil unrest following a series of events, including the murder of [[Lord Mayor of Cork|Lord Mayor]] [[Tomás Mac Curtain]], the death from [[hunger strike]] of Lord Mayor [[Terence MacSwiney]] and the [[burning of Cork]] at the height of the war, resulted in the [[1920 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1920 championship]] being delayed by two years and the entire cancellation of the 1921 championship.

The first decades of the new century brought new teams but not in a traditional sense. Food production company [[Crosse & Blackwell]], third level educational institution [[UCC GAA|University College Cork]] (UCC) and [[Collins GAA|Collins Military Barracks]] all entered teams, however, UCC are the only team to continue fielding a team as of [[2020 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship|2020]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/UCC-have-their-critics-but-proved-again-what-they-add-to-the-Cork-championships-28ae9a2b-408c-4e06-a6d9-27cce800f7de-ds|title=UCC have their critics but proved again what they add to the Cork championships|newspaper=The Echo|date=26 August 2020|access-date=30 August 2020|first=Mark|last=Woods}}</ref> The creation of the divisional boards in the late 1920s added a new dimension to the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/divisions-remain-in-cork-and-are-welcomed-in-kerry-1.4091218|title=Divisions remain in Cork and are welcomed in Kerry|newspaper=Irish Times|date=22 November 2019|access-date=30 August 2020|first=Seán|last=Moran}}</ref> These divisional teams were composed of [[Cork Junior A Hurling Championship|junior]] and [[Cork Intermediate A Hurling Championship|intermediate]] players and afforded every player in the county the chance of winning a senior championship medal. [[Avondhu GAA|Avondhu]], [[Carbery GAA|Carbery]] and [[Muskerry GAA|Muskerry]] became the first divisions to enter teams when they did so in the [[1933 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1933 championship]].

[[File:Cork stadium.JPG|thumb|left|The old [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]] hosted the finals from 1976 to 2014.]]

On 20 August 1976, [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] defeated [[Seandún GAA|Seandún]] by 4-10 to 1-06 in the first senior championship game to take place at the newly built [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]]. The [[1976 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|1976 final]] later became the first final to be played at the new stadium. [[Mardyke (UCC)|The Mardyke]] hosted the two previous finals due to the demolition of the old Athletic Grounds.

After 90 years of using the single-elimination straight knock-out format, problems arose regarding the standard of the competing teams. A special committee was established to examine the possibility of restructuring the championship format. At the County Convention on 5 February 1978, delegates voted by 143 to 93 in favour of abandoning the knock-out format and adopting a group stage. This format was used for three successive season from 1978 until 1980, with [[Blackrock GAA|Blackrock]] and [[St. Finbarr's GAA|St. Finbarr's]] becoming the first teams to win the championship after suffering a defeat. The County Board voted to revert to the single-elimination straight knock-out format in [[1981 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1981]].

In [[1995 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1995]], [[CIT GAA|Cork Regional Technical College]] were permitted to field a team in the championship for the first time.

===21st century===
[[File:Páirc Uí Chaoimh East.jpg|thumb|The redeveloped [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]] became the regular final venue in 2017.]]

The introduction of a "back door" system at inter-county level in the [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland Championship]] in [[1997 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|1997]] led to the idea of introducing a second chance for defeated teams at county level. In [[2000 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2000]] a [[Double-elimination tournament|double-elimination format]] was introduced which afforded all club teams a second chance by remaining in the championship after a first-round defeat. In the two decades that followed the championship format continued to evolve with a number of minor tweaks. The provision of a second chance for defeated teams was later expanded to allow teams the opportunity of being defeated twice and still remain in the championship. The splitting of the intermediate grade in two resulted in the introduction of relegation in [[2006 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2006]], with [[Delaney Rovers GAA|Delanys]] becoming the first team to be relegated that year. Prior to this teams were allowed to decide for themselves if they wanted to regrade or retain their senior status. In [[2015 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2015]] the championship once again reverted to a double-elimination format.

Redevelopment of [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]] saw the final played outside of its regular venue for the first time in nearly 40 years, with the [[2015 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|2015]] and [[2016 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|2016]] finals being played at [[Páirc Uí Rinn]].

==Domination, shock victories and rivalries==
===Team dominance===
Since the beginning the championship has been dominated by [[Blackrock GAA|Blackrock]], [[St. Finbarr's GAA|St. Finbarr's]] and [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] who are collectively known as the "big three".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/tradition-still-counts-for-a-lot-in-corks-hurling-heart-36249223.html|title=Tradition still counts for a lot in Cork's hurling heart|newspaper=Irish Independent|date=22 October 2017|access-date=5 December 2017|first=Dermot|last=Crowe}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/cork-hurlers-the-rebels-in-need-of-a-new-uprising-1.2569746|title=Cork hurlers – the Rebels in need of a new uprising|newspaper=Irish Times|date=12 March 2016|access-date=5 December 2017|first=Keith|last=Duggan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/Cork-Senior-Hurling-Championship-Can-any-team-tackle-Eastern-dominance-5cb69b60-6c24-4007-a463-81f4f48a0c63-ds|title=Cork Senior Hurling Championship: Can any team tackle Eastern dominance?|newspaper=The Echo|date=21 July 2020|access-date=28 August 2020|first=John|last=Horgan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/Cork-hurling-Its-time-for-a-new-name-on-the-Sean-Og-Murphy-Cup-41aa5b02-3307-4615-bf90-01b538739a2f-ds|title=Cork hurling: It's time for a new name on the Seán Óg Murphy Cup|newspaper=The Echo|date=21 July 2020|access-date=28 August 2020|first=John|last=Horgan}}</ref> They have won a combined total of 84 championship titles. Blackrock dominated the first thirty years of the championship, winning 15 titles between [[1887 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1887]] and [[1920 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1920]]. It was during this time that the county championship earned the nickname of the "little [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland]]" due to its competitive nature. St. Finbarr's, after making a breakthrough in the early years of the 20th century, were the team of the decade for the 1920s before regularly claiming championship titles in each of the decades that followed. [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] made their own breakthrough with a first championship in [[1934 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1934]] and were the dominant club from then until the 1960s. Between [[1971 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1971]] and [[1982 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1982]], the "big three" shared every available championship title. Their rivalry reached its peak in the [[1977 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|1977 final]] when a record attendance of 34,151 saw St. Finbarr's defeat Glen Rovers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/crowded-house-the-ingredients-for-a-packed-pairc-ui-chaoimh-opening-461043.html|title=Crowded house: The ingredients for a packed Páirc Uí Chaoimh opening|newspaper=Irish Examiner|date=17 October 2017|access-date=5 December 2017|first=Michael|last=Moynihan}}</ref>

Since that zenith the "big three" have only claimed two titles in each of the decades from [[1990 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1990]] to [[2019 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2019]] as the power base of Cork hurling has moved from the city to the county with several clubs making significant breakthroughs and impacts on the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/columnists/michael-moynihan/a-different-demographic-the-changing-face-of-cork-hurling-242478.html|title=A different demographic: the changing face of Cork hurling|newspaper=Irish Examiner|date=10 September 2013|access-date=5 December 2017|first=Michael|last=Moynihan}}</ref> In 1983 [[Midleton GAA|Midleton]] broke the decade-long hegemony and went on to claim five championships over a thirty-year period to [[2013 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2013]]. In 1990 [[Na Piarsaigh GAA|Na Piarsaigh]] became the first city club outside of the "big three" since [[Redmonds GAA|Redmonds]] in [[1917 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1917]] to claim the championship. They added two more titles in [[1995 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1995]] and [[2004 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2004]]. [[Erin's Own GAA (Cork)|Erin's Own]] also added their name to the roll of honour in [[1992 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1992]] before winning further titles in [[2006 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2006]] and [[2007 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2007]]. The mid nineties saw the rise of the divisional sides, with [[Carbery GAA|Carbery]], [[Avondhu GAA|Avondhu]] and [[Imokilly GAA|Imokilly]] claiming four championship titles between [[1994 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1994]] and [[1998 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1998]]. The success of [[Newtownshandrum GAA|Newtownshandrum]] between 2000 and [[2009 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2009]] also highlighted the changing demographics of Cork hurling as the tiny parish of 800 people won four championships during that decade. [[Sarsfields GAA (Cork)|Sarsfields]], although close in proximity to the city but based in the [[East Cork]] division, ended a 51-year famine in [[2008 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2008]] by claiming their third championship title ever. Between 2008 and [[2015 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2015]] they appeared in seven finals and won four titles. The East Cork village of [[Carrigtwohill GAA|Carrigtwohill]] ended a 93-wait for their second championship title in [[2011 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|2011]].

In recent decades many rural and city-based clubs have also contested championship deciders without making a successful breakthrough. These include [[Ballyhea GAA|Ballyhea]], [[Cloyne GAA|Cloyne]], [[Bride Rovers GAA|Bride Rovers]] and [[Bishopstown GAA|Bishopstown]]. Educational institutions like [[UCC GAA|University College Cork]] and [[CIT GAA|Cork Institute of Technology]] have also appeared in finals.

===Historic results===

The possibility of unlikely victories at any stage of the championship, where a so-called "minnow" beat a traditionally higher placed opposition, is much anticipated by the public. Such upsets and shock results are considered an integral part of the tradition and prestige of the championship and, in some cases, can lead to the championship race being blown wide open. Historically speaking, the biggest shock of the first 50 years of the championship took place when [[Mallow GAA|Mallow]] beat 18-time and reigning champions [[Blackrock GAA|Blackrock]] in the [[1928 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Second round|1928 second round]]. The great run of success by [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]], who secured eight championship titles in succession between [[1934 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1934]] and [[1941 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|1941]], was ended in the [[1942 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Semi-finals|semi-final]] by [[Ballincollig GAA|Ballincollig]], a team who had never won the championship and had been beaten by the Glen in the previous year's [[1941 Cork Senior Hurling Championship|final]].

===Rivalries===
Matches between keen rivals in the championship are often heated and tension-filled affairs. However, the matches and the rivalries they encompass are frequently listed among the best in the championship. Rivalries can stem from a number of reasons, including the geographic proximity of the teams involved and the glory of "beating the neighbours" to an urban-rural rivalry between teams. In [[Cork (city)|Cork city]] the [[River Lee]] often leads to a northside-southside rivalry.

Some of the more prominent rivalries include:
*Ballyhea–Newtownshandrum 
*[[Blackrock–Glen Rovers hurling rivalry|Blackrock–Glen Rovers]]
*[[Blackrock–St Finbarr's hurling rivalry|Blackrock–St Finbarr's]]
*Glen Rovers–Na Piarsaigh
*[[Glen Rovers–St Finbarr's hurling rivalry|Glen Rovers–St Finbarr's]]

===History===
In the 131 championships prior to [[2020 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship|2020]], many different championship formats were used. These include straight knockout, divisional formats, group stages, double-elimination and triple-elimination.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/arid-40715372.html|title=Cork hurling: Round-robin system more popular this time around|publisher=Echo Live|date=9 October 2021|accessdate=10 October 2021|first=Denis|last=Hurley}}</ref> On 2 April 2019, a majority of 136 club delegates voted to restructure the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/gaa/heres-a-breakdown-of-the-proposals-to-restructure-the-cork-county-championships-913518.html|title=Here's a breakdown of the proposals to restructure the Cork county championships|newspaper=Irish Examiner|date=26 March 2019|access-date=16 September 2019|first=Eoghan|last=Cormican}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2019/0402/1040309-cork-clubs-vote/|title=Cork clubs vote down radical restructuring proposals|publisher=RTÉ Sport|date=2 April 2019|access-date=16 September 2019}}</ref> The new format led to the splitting of the championship in two and the creation of the Cork Premier Senior Championship and the [[Cork Senior A Hurling Championship|Cork Senior A Championship]]. 

===Current===

'''Group stage:''' The 12 club teams are divided into three groups of four. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least three games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group are then ranked 1-6 with the top team receiving a bye to the semi-finals and the teams ranked 2-6 progressing to the quarter-finals.

'''Divisional and colleges section:''' The colleges and divisional sides compete in a separate section, with one team qualifying for the quarter-finals.

'''Quarter-finals:''' The three quarter-finals feature the teams ranked 2-6 from the group stage and the divisional/colleges section winner. Three teams qualify for the next round.

'''Semi-finals:''' The two semi-finals feature four teams; the three quarter-final winners and the top-ranked team from the group stage. Two teams qualify for the next round.

'''Final:''' The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

==Teams==

=== 2025 teams ===
21 teams will compete in the [[2025 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship]]: 12 clubs in the group stage and 9 divisional teams in the divisional/colleges section.

==Sponsorship==
[[Permanent TSB|TSB Bank]] became the first title sponsor of the championship, serving in that capacity until 2005 when the ''[[Evening Echo]]'' signed a sponsorship deal. In 2020, [[Dairygold|Dairygold Co-Op Superstores]] were unveiled as the new title sponsor of the Cork Premier Senior Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40022501.html|title=Cork GAA ink hurling sponsorship deal with Dairygold Co-Op Superstores|newspaper=Irish Examiner|date=27 July 2020|access-date=27 July 2020|first=Colm|last=O'Connor}}</ref>

==Qualification for subsequent competitions==
The Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship winners qualify for the subsequent [[Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship]]. This place is reserved for club teams only as divisional and amalgamated teams are not allowed in the provincial championship. If a divisional side wins the Cork Championship then the runners-up qualify for the Munster Championship. This has occurred on six occasions. If two divisional sides qualify for the final then the provincial championship place is given to one of the defeated semi-finalists. This occurred in 1996 when [[Na Piarsaigh GAA|Na Piarsaigh]] represented Cork due to [[Avondhu GAA|Avondhu]] and [[Imokilly GAA|Imokilly]] contesting the final.

==Venues==
===Group stage===
[[File:Turners.cross.jpg|thumb|[[Turners Cross (stadium)|Turners Cross]], better known as an [[association football]] stadium, hosted three successive finals between 1901 and 1903.]]
[[File:Páirc Uí Chaoimh.jpg|thumb|Since 2017 the county final has been held at [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]], on the site of the previous stadium which hosted it from 1976 to 2014.]]
Fixtures in the group stage of the championship are usually played at a neutral venue that is deemed halfway between the participating teams. Some of the more common venues include [[Mallow GAA|Mallow GAA Complex]], [[Valley Rovers GAA|Brinny Sportsfield]], [[Aghabullogue GAA|Coachford Pitch]] and [[Midleton GAA|Clonmult Memorial Park]]. All games in the knockout stage are played at either [[Páirc Uí Rinn]] or [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]].

===Final===
The final has been played at the rebuilt [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]] since it opened in 2017. The rebuilding process meant that the finals of 2015 and 2016 were hosted at [[Páirc Uí Rinn]]. Continuing work on the pitch at the new stadium resulted in the 2019 final also being played at Páirc Uí Rinn.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/Work-on-the-new-pitch-at-Pairc-Ui-Chaoimh-is-underway-to-take-advantage-of-summer-growth-3b8424f8-b15f-43f1-b5d2-d2d048f2a785-ds|title=Work on the new pitch at Páirc Uí Chaoimh is underway to take advantage of summer growth|newspaper=Evening Echo|date=28 July 2019|access-date=9 October 2019|first=John|last=Horgan}}</ref> Prior to rebuilding, the final was hosted by the original Páirc Uí Chaoimh since it opened in 1976. The final was played at [[Mardyke (UCC)|the Mardyke]] in 1974 and 1975, while in the 70 years prior to the development of Páirc Uí Chaoimh the final was usually played at the [[Cork Athletic Grounds]]. From the inaugural championship in 1887 up to the turn of the 20th century, the final was held at a variety of venues in the city and around the county, most notably the Cork Park enclosure. The other venues used during this period include:
*[[Blarney GAA|Blarney Sportsfield]] (1890)
*[[Mallow GAA|Mallow Town Park]] (1891, 1895-1896, 1914)
*[[Carrigtwohill GAA|Carrigtwohill Sportsfield]] (1900)
*[[Turners Cross (stadium)|Turners Cross]] (1901-1903)
*[[Ballinhassig GAA|Ballinhassig Sportsfield]] (1906)
*[[Cobh GAA|Carrignafoy Ground]] (1908)
*[[Sarsfields GAA (Cork)|Riverstown Sportsfield]] (1911)

==Managers==
[[Manager (Gaelic games)|Manager]]s in the Cork Championship are involved in the day-to-day running of the team, including the training, team selection, and sourcing of players. Their influence varies from club-to-club and is related to the individual club committees. The manager is assisted by a team of two or three selectors and a backroom team consisting of various coaches.

==Trophy and medals==
The Seán Óg Murphy Cup is the current prize for winning the championship. It was commissioned to honour [[Seán Óg Murphy]] who served as a hurler, selector and [[Cork GAA|County Board]] Secretary at various times over a 45-year period. Prior to this, several different cups and trophies had been presented to winning captains. The Seán Óg Murphy Cup is similar in design to the [[Liam MacCarthy Cup]] which was constructed to look like a medieval Irish drinking vessel called a mather. The cup bears the [[Irish language|Irish]] inscription: ''Croabh Iomána Sinsear, Coiste Chontae Chorcaí de Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, a bhronn an corn seo, 1963, mar cuimhne ar Seán Óg Ó Murchú.'' Des Kiely of [[UCC GAA|University College Cork]] was the first recipient of the cup when it was presented to him by the widow of the late Seán Óg Murphy after the [[1963 Cork Senior Hurling Championship#Final|1963 final]].

Traditionally, at [[Páirc Uí Chaoimh]], the victory presentation takes place at a special rostrum in the main grandstand. At [[Páirc Uí Rinn]] the presentation was made on a podium on the pitch. The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team. During the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. The winning captain accepts the cup on behalf of his team before giving a short speech. Individual members of the winning team then have an opportunity to come to the rostrum to lift the cup, which is held by the winning team until the following year's final. 

In accordance with [[Gaelic Athletic Association|GAA]] rules, the County Board awards a set of gold medals to the championship winners. The medals depict a stylised version of the Cork GAA crest.

==Winners and finalists==
===The Double===
Three teams have won the Cork Senior Hurling Championship and the [[Cork Senior Football Championship]] in a single year as part of a hurling-[[Gaelic football]] [[The Double (Gaelic Games)|double]]. [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] and their sister club, [[St. Nicholas' GAA|St. Nicholas']], became the first teams to win the double in 1938 before claiming two further doubles in 1941 and 1954. [[UCC GAA|University College Cork]] won their only double in 1963. [[St. Finbarr's GAA|St. Finbarr's]] hold the distinction of being the only single entity club team to have won the double. They achieved this in 1980 and 1982.

Divisional sides [[Avondhu GAA|Avondhu]], [[Carbery GAA|Carbery]] and [[Imokilly GAA|Imokilly]] and club team [[Midleton GAA|Midleton]] also hold the distinction of being dual county senior championship-winning teams, however, these were not achieved in a single calendar season.

==Media coverage==
===Radio===
