The Longford Club Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Longford GAA among hurling clubs in County Longford, Ireland. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Leinster Junior Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
The winning club receives the JJ Duignan Cup, named for the proprietor of the Tally-Ho pub in Longford town; it is also called the Tally-Ho Cup for this reason. [1] [2]
Currently three clubs compete in the County Championship: Wolfe Tones, Longford Slashers and Clonguish Gaels.
The 3 clubs start in a groups stage. Each team plays once against the others in the group - home and away - guaranteed two group games. Two points are awarded for a win. The top two teams qualify for the final.
The group stage winner and runners-up contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.
At the end of the championship, the winning team qualifies for the Leinster Special Club Junior Hurling Championship. [3]

- 1907, 2012 & 2013 SHC's consisted of just two teams, hence SHC Competition was limited to one game (final).
- No losing finalist for 1932 or 1933 as the winner topped the table (i.e. No final - League format).
- Granard hurling club won the Cavan Senior Hurling Championship in 1950, beating Ballyhaise by 5-3 to 1-1 in the final.
- 2011 final was declared null and void by CCCC after a dispute arose over the scheduling of dates for the decider.
- Longford Slashers played hurling as Slashers Gaels until the 2000's.
