The Kildare Senior B Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the UPMC Kildare Senior B Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Kildare SBHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Kildare County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association for the second tier hurling teams in County Kildare in Ireland.

Contents

In its current format, the Kildare Senior B Championship begins with a group stage. The six participating teams play each other in a round-robin system. This is followed by a knockout phase that culminates with the final match at St Conleth's Park. The winner of the Kildare Senior B Championship qualifies for the subsequent Leinster Intermediate Club Championship.

Naas are the title holders after defeating Moorefield by 1–21 to 0–17 in the 2024 final. [1]

Format

Group stage

Over the course of the six-team group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least five games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top four teams from the group stage proceed to the knockout stage. [2]

Knockout stage

Semi-finals: The top four teams from the group stage contest this round (1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd). The two winners advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final.

Promotion and relegation

At the end of the championship, the winning team is automatically promoted to the Kildare Senior Championship for the following season. [3] The bottom-placed team from the group stage is automatically relegated to the Kildare Intermediate Championship.
