2020 Cork Senior A Hurling Championship

The 2020 Cork Senior A Hurling Championship was the first staging of the Cork Senior A Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 19 November 2019. The championship was scheduled to begin in April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship began on 31 July 2020 and ended on 4 October 2020.
On 4 October 2020, Charleville won the championship after a 3-12 to 1-14 win over Fr. O'Neill's in the final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. This was their first championship title in the grade.
Charleville's Darragh Fitzgibbon was the championship's top scorer with 2-51.

On 26 March 2019, three championship proposals were circulated to Cork club delegates. A core element running through all three proposals, put together by the Cork GAA games workgroup, was that there be a group stage of 12 teams and straight relegation and promotion. On 2 April 2019, a majority of 136 club delegates voted for Option A which would see one round of games played in April, with two more following in August – all with county players available.
