Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship


The Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Duhallow Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1933 for junior hurling teams in the Barony of Duhallow in County Cork, Ireland.
The series of games are played during the summer and autumn months. The championship includes a knock-out stage and a "back door" for teams defeated in the first round.
The Duhallow Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior Hurling Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Duhallow championship join their counterparts from the other six divisions to contest the county championship.
Newmarket are the title-holders after defeating Kilbrin by 1-22 to 2-11 in the 2019 championship final.
