The Tadhg Crowley Cup is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by divisional and university sides in the county of Cork in Ireland, deciding the competition winners through a double-elimination format.
Muskerry are the reigning champions, having beaten Duhallow by 3–13 to 2–15 in the 2024 final.[1]
A restructuring process of the entire Cork football championship system had been underway since voted on by Cork County Board delegates in March 2019.[2][3][4] From 2020, the participating divisions and colleges held their own series of games, designed to produce one team to advance to the quarter-final stages of the championship proper. In 2022, it was decided to award the Tadhg Crowley Cup to the winning team.
Qualification for subsequent competitions
The Tadhg Crowley Cup winners qualify for the quarter-final stage of the Cork Premier Senior Football Championship.
