The Clare Junior A Hurling Championship (abbreviated to Clare JAHC) is an annual GAA club competition organised by the Clare County Board for hurling clubs below Intermediate, Premier Intermediate and Senior level. It is contested by the top-ranking junior hurling clubs in County Clare, Ireland. It is the fourth-tier adult competition of the Clare hurling pyramid.

The Clare JAHC was introduced in 1926 as a county-wide competition for hurling clubs deemed not strong enough for Senior level. Intermediate level was introduced in 1927 for the same reason and placed above the Clare JAHC in the Clare hurling pyramid. In later years the Clare JAHC was opened to the second-, third-, and/or fourth-string teams from higher-ranked clubs.
In 2025 the Clare County Board introduced three new levels to the Clare hurling pyramid – Premier Intermediate, Premier Junior B and Premier Junior C. Every level below the sixteen-team Senior level was now a new or updated ten-team level, with the respective champions promoted up one level, and the losers of a relegation play-off dropping down a level for the following year.
The winners of the Clare JAHC are presented with the John Daly Cup, and are promoted to the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship.
The current (2025) champions are The Banner who defeated Ballyea by 2-15 to 0-15, to win their first title at this level.
