Format

[edit]

Group stage

[edit]

The 6 teams enter the group stage. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least five games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top four teams in each group qualify for the knockout stage.[citation needed]

Knockout stage

[edit]

Semi-finals: The winners, runners-up, third-place and fourth-place from the group stage contest this round. The two winners from these games advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Promotion and relegation

[edit]

At the end of the championship, the winning team enters the Cork Junior A Football Championship and by winning this, they will be promoted to the Cork Premier Junior Football Championship for the following season. The bottom placed team from the group stage is relegated to the Duhallow Junior B Football Championship.[citation needed]
