The City Junior A Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the BCE Consulting Engineers City Junior A Hurling Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Seandún Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1926 for junior-graded hurling teams in Cork, Ireland.

The series of games is usually played during the summer months. The championship uses a double elimination format whereby each team is guaranteed at least two games.

The City Junior Championship is part of the wider Cork Junior A Hurling Championship. The winners of the City Championship join their counterparts from the other six divisions to contest the county championship.

As of 2024, 10 clubs participate in the City Championship.

Whitechurch are the title-holders after defeating Passage West by 0-25 to 3-14 in the 2024 final.

Format

Championship

First round: Ten teams contest the five first round matches with one team receiving a bye to the second round. The winners advance to the quarter-finals and the losers advance to the second round.

Second round: The five first round losers join the team given a bye to contest the three second round matches. The winners advance to the quarter-finals and the losers are eliminated from the championship.

Quarter-finals: The three second round winners join the five first round winners to contest the four quarter-final matches. The winners advance to the semi-finals.

Semi-finals: The four quarter-final winners compete in the two semi-final matches, with the winners advancing to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team is declared the champion.
