The Cork Junior B Inter-Divisional Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Co-Op Superstores Cork Junior B Inter-Divisional Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Cork JBHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the second tier junior clubs in the county of Cork in Ireland. It is the seventh tier overall in the entire Cork hurling championship system.
The Cork Junior B Inter-Divisional Championship was introduced in 2015 as a countywide competition for "weaker" junior teams. At the time of its creation it was the fifth tier of Cork hurling.
The competition has been won by 8 teams but none have won it more than once.
Ballyhea are the reigning champions.
History
In 2015, a second Junior B Championship (known as Inter-Divisional Championship) was introduced to run parallel with the traditional Junior B Championship. Mirroring the Junior A Hurling Championship, this competition allows all the Junior B divisional champions an opportunity to win a county. Unlike the traditional Championship, second string teams can enter the divisional championships and potentially win the county championship.
