The 2020 Cork Intermediate A Football Championship was the 85th staging of the Cork Intermediate A Football Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 19 November 2019. [1] The championship was scheduled to begin in April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Ireland. [2] The championship eventually began on 24 July 2020, after being suspended once again on 5 October 2020, eventually ended on 21 August 2021. [3] [4] [5]

The final was played on 21 August 2021 at Mallow GAA Complex, between Rockchapel and Mitchelstown, in what was their first meeting in the final. Rockchapel won the match by 1-10 to 0-09 to claim their second championship title overall and their first since 1989. [6]

Mitchelstown's Cathail O'Mahony was the championship's top scorer with 5-29.

Format change

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. [7] On 2 April 2019, a majority of 136 club delegates voted for Option A which will see one round of games played in April and two more in August – all with county players available. [8]
