Contents

The 2020 champions, and holders of the Jack Daly Cup are Kilmurry-Ibrickane who won their sixteenth overall title.

Format Change

Time constraints led to a revision of the championship format. The group stages were abolished and any amalgamations withdrawn. The championship saw six first-round games with the winners of these ties being drawn against each other in the quarter-final stage. The losers of the first round faced off against each other in order to produce one semi-finalist. Open draws applied to all rounds. There will be no relegation. [3]

The original fixture between Clondegad and Cratloe was postponed due to an outbreak of COVID-19 within both the Cratloe and Clondegad GAA communities. [13] After an emergency meeting of the Clare County Board it was agreed to postpone any game that the Cratloe Senior and Junior, and Clondegad Junior teams were due to play by a period of two weeks. All subsequent games involving these clubs or their conquerors would also be delayed down the line due to this decision. This would allow sufficient time for those affected to recover before returning to play.
