The Cork Premier Junior Championship was introduced in 2023 following a restructuring of the various intermediate and junior championships.
In its current format, the Cork Premier Junior Championship begins in early autumn. The 12 participating club teams are divided into three groups of four teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The three group winners and the three runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The winner of the Cork Premier Junior Championship qualifies for the subsequent Munster Club Championship.
St Finbarr's are the title holders after defeating Kilmurry by 3-16 to 1-11 in the 2023 final.[1]
