Format change Overview Since its inception in 1887 the championship had been played on a straight knock-out basis. If any team was defeated at any stage it meant automatic elimination. This system was deemed the fairest as the county champions would always be the team who won all of their games. There were some problems with this system and a special committee was established to examine the standard of competing teams. At the County Convention on 5 February 1978, delegates voted by 143 to 93 in favour of changing the format of the championship.https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/arid-40274987.html Cork tried hurling and football groups stages at club level from 1978 to '80 Echo Live 29 April 2021 11 July 2022 New format Section one Section one comprised the five top-graded club teams.
