Quick Facts Founded, Trophy ...

The series of games begin in March, 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 East Cork Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior Football Championship. The winners of the East Cork championship join their counterparts from the other seven divisions to contest the county championship.

As of 2023, 12 clubs were participating in the East Cork Championship.[citation needed] The title has been won at least once by 17 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Glanmire, who have won a total of 20 titles.

Lisgoold are the title-holders, defeating Carrignavar by 2-09 to 0-10 in the 2023 championship final.[1]

Format

The East Cork Junior Championship is effectively a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random — there are no seeds.[citation needed]

Each match is played as a single leg. If a match ends as a draw there is a period of extra time, however, if both sides are still level at the end of extra time a replay takes place and so on until a winner is found.[citation needed]
