Mid Cork Junior A Football Championship


The Mid Cork Junior A Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Muskerry Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1926 for junior Gaelic football teams in the Muskerry region in County Cork, Ireland.
The series of games begin in April, with the championship culminating with the final in the autumn. 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 Football Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Mid Cork championship join their counterparts from the other seven divisions to contest the county championship.
13 clubs currently participate in the Mid Cork Championship. The title has been won at least once by 18 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Canovee, who have won a total of 16 titles.
Iveleary are the title-holders after defeating Canovee in the 2018 championship final.
