The Conor McGurk Cup is an annual hurling competition organised by the Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 2018 for the top inter-county teams in the province of Ulster in Ireland.[citation needed]

The series of games are played during January. The McGurk Cup is effectively a pre-season tournament. It allows teams to blood[jargon] new players and to experiment prior to the opening of the National Hurling League.[citation needed]

The 2019 competition, the third year of the event, involved nine teams competing in three sections.[2] Counties and colleges typically make up the teams in the tournament.[citation needed]

Following their win in the 2021 competition,[3] the Antrim county hurling team were champions entering the 2022 competition.[citation needed]
