Limerick Premier Junior A Hurling Championship
The Limerick Premier Junior A Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Limerick County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the top-ranking junior clubs in the county of Limerick in Ireland. It is the fourth tier overall in the entire Limerick hurling championship system.
The Limerick Premier Junior A Championship was introduced in 2024 following a restructuring of the existing junior championship.
The 12 club teams, participating in the competition, are divided into two groups of six teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The top three teams in each group proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final. The winner of the Limerick Premier Junior Championship qualifies for the subsequent Munster Club Championship.
Feenagh–Kilmeedy are the current champions, having beaten St Patrick's by 3–16 to 2–16 in the 2024 final.
