The 2020 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship was the inaugural staging of the Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship and the 132nd staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking hurling teams in Cork. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 19 November 2019.[1] The championship was scheduled to begin on 17 April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games.[2] The championship began on 31 July 2020 and ended on 4 October 2020.
Imokilly were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify for the knockout stage after being beaten by University College Cork in the divisional final.[3][4] Ballyhea were relegated from the championship after being beaten in a playoff by Bishopstown.[5]
The final was played on 4 October 2020 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, between Blackrock and Glen Rovers, in what was their first meeting in a final in 42 years. Blackrock won the match by 4–26 to 4-18 - the first ever to be settled in extra time - to claim their 33rd championship title overall and a first title since 2002.[6]
Blackrock's Alan Connolly was the championship's top scorer with 5-52.
