The Cork Junior B Championship was introduced as a knockout tournament in 1984. In its current format, the championship is completed over the course of ten weeks. Unlike the Cork Junior A Football Championship, it is a countywide competition not limited to divisional champions. The championship includes a round robin followed by a knockout stage, which culminates with the final match at Páirc Uí Rinn.
The competition has been won by 27 teams, eight of which have won it more than once. Argideen Rangers are the most successful team in the competition's history, having won it four times. St Oliver Plunketts are the title holders after defeating Ballyphehane by 1–10 to 1–09 in the 2023 final.[1]
