The South East Cork Junior A Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Carrigdhoun Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1928 for junior hurling teams in the southeastern region of County Cork, Ireland.
The series of games begin in July, with the championship culminating with the final in the autumn. The championship includes a group stage and a knockout stage which guarantees each team at least 2 championship games.
The South East Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior A Hurling Championship. The winners and of the South East championship join their counterparts from the other six divisions to contest the county championship.
Belgooly are the title-holders, defeating Valley Rovers by 5-17 to 2-14 in the 2023 final.
Format
Group stage
The 10 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 two 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 qualify for the knockout stage.
Knockout stage
Quarter-finals: Two lone quarter-finals featuring the four lowest-placed qualifying teams from the group stage. Two teams qualify for the next round.
Semi-finals: The two quarter-final winners and the top two highest-placed qualifying teams from the group stage contest this round. The two winners from these games advance to the final.
Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.
