2009 Cork county hurling team season
# 2009 Cork county hurling team season

The 2009 season was the Cork senior hurling team's 122nd consecutive season appearing in the Championship, and their 78th season appearing in the National Hurling League. The season has, for a second year running, began badly as the hurling panel withdrew their services because their confidence in manager Gerald McCarthy has been eroded.
