The Wexford Senior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Pettitt's SuperValu Senior Hurling Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Wexford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1889 for the top hurling teams in the county of Wexford in Ireland.

The series of games are played during the spring and autumn months with the county final currently[when?] being played at Chadwicks Wexford Park in October. The prize for the winning team is the Dr. R. J. Bowe Cup. Initially played as a knock-out competition, the championship currently[when?] uses a round robin format followed by a knock-out stage.

The Wexford County Championship is an integral part of the wider Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Wexford county final join the champions of the other hurling counties to contest the provincial championship.

12 teams participated in the 2021 Wexford Senior Hurling Championship. The title has been won at least once by 28 different teams. The all-time record-holders are Rathnure who have won a total of 20 titles.

Rapparees are the title-holders (2022) after defeating St. Martin's by 1-20 to 0-22 in the final.

The championship

Overview

The Wexford County Championship features a group stage followed by a knock-out stage. Each team in the championship is guaranteed at least five games. Relegation and promotion also takes place with the second tier Wexford Intermediate Hurling Championship.

Format

Group stage

For the group stage there are two groups of six teams. Teams play the other five teams in the group once, and match points are awarded depending on the result of each game, with teams receiving two points for a win, and one for a draw.

Following the completion of the group stage, the top four-ranking teams in each group qualify for the knock-out stage of the championship. The bottom-placed team in each group contest the relegation play-off.

Knock-out stage

The four quarter-finals consist of the top four teams from Group 1 and Group 2. The winners of the quarter-finals advance to the semi-finals with the two winners of these games contesting the final.

Sponsorship

Since 1994 the Wexford County Championship has been sponsored by Wexford-based supermarket Pettitt's SuperValu. It is one of the longest sponsorship deals of any county championship in Ireland.[1]

Qualification for subsequent competitions

The Wexford Senior Hurling Championship winners qualify for the subsequent Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship. A team representing Wexford has won the provincial title on 10 occasions.

Managers

Managers in the Wexford Championship are involved in the day-to-day running of the team, including the training, team selection, and sourcing of players. Their influence varies from club-to-club and is related to the individual club committees. The manager is assisted by a team of two or three selectors and a backroom team consisting of various coaches.
