Unlike the Cork Junior A Football Championship, it is a countywide competition not limited to divisional champions.

The championship includes a round robin followed by a knockout stage, which culminates with the final match at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Lough Rovers are the most successful team in the competition's history, having won it 2 times.

The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record.

Quarter-finals: The eight qualifying teams from the group stage contest this round.
