Beara Junior A Football Championship


The Beara Junior A Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Beara Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1927 for junior Gaelic football teams in the Beara Peninsula in County Cork, Ireland.
The championship is currently suspended because there are no teams categorised as junior A in the division. The title has been won at least once by eight different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Urhan, who have won a total of 28 titles.
The Beara Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior A Football Championship. The winners of the Beara championship join their counterparts from the other seven divisions to contest the county championship.
