Championship details

Overview

All of the twenty-three teams from the 2015 championship will participate in the top tier of Cork hurling in 2016, along with some additions.

Divisional side Carrigdhoun, who withdrew on the eve of the 2015 championship, will field a team in the 2016 championship.

Newcestown, who defeated Valley Rovers by 1-23 to 0-8 in the final of the premier intermediate championship in 2015, gained automatic promotion to the senior championship.

Although Bishopstown defeated Killeagh by 1-20 to 1-11 in the 2015 relegation play-off, Killeagh were granted a reprieve and will remain in the senior grade for 2016.[2]

New format

For the first time in Cork a double elimination format will be introduced. This will continue to give teams at least two games before being eliminated from the championship.
