Hurling is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin. It is administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The game has prehistoric origins, and has been played for 4,000 years. One of Ireland's native Gaelic games, it shares a number of features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals, the number of players, and much terminology. There is a similar game for women called camogie. It shares a common Gaelic root with the sport of shinty, which is played predominantly in Scotland.
The Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. Originally established in 1909 for the second tier teams, the championship has, since 2004, been contested by the third tier hurling teams in the county of Cork in Ireland.
The Cork senior hurling team represents the county of Cork in the Gaelic game of hurling. The team competes annually in the Waterford Crystal Cup, National Hurling League, the Munster Senior Hurling Championship and in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. Cork also contribute players to the Munster Railway Cup team for an annual inter-provincial series of games.
