In its current format, the championship begins in late October or early November and is usually played over a four-week period. The six participating club teams compete in a straight knockout competition that culminates with the Munster final for the two remaining teams. The winner of the Munster Junior Championship, as well as being presented with the Rody Nealon Cup, qualifies for the subsequent All-Ireland Club Championship.The competition has been won by 19 teams, however, no team has ever won the championship on more than one occasion. Cork clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories with 14 wins. Cork side Ballygiblin are the reigning champions, having beaten Skeheenarinky from Tipperary by 2-14 to 1-9 in the 2021 final.[1]Table of ContentsOverview[edit]Competition format[edit]Qualification[edit]Trophy and medals[edit]List of Finals[edit]Roll of Honour[edit]Wins by County[edit]Records and statistics[edit]County representatives[edit]Biggest wins[edit]Top scorers[edit]All time[edit]By year[edit]Single game[edit]Finals[edit]References[edit]Overview[edit]The Munster Championship is a single elimination tournament.

The Rody Nealon Cup is held by the winning team until the following year’s final. Traditionally, the presentation is made at a special rostrum in the stand where GAA and other dignitaries and special guests view the match.The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team. During the game the cup actually has both teams’ sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. The winning captain accepts the cup on behalf of his team before giving a short speech. Individual members of the winning team then have an opportunity to come to the rostrum to lift the cup.The cup is named after Rody Nealon. He was an All-Ireland medal winner with Tipperary in 1925 before later serving as chairman and secretary of the Burgess club at different times, while he was also a member of the Tipperary County Board and the Munster Council.In accordance with GAA rules, the Munster Council awards a set of 24 gold medals to the winners of the Munster final.
