Laois Junior Hurling Championship
# Laois Junior Hurling Championship

The Laois Junior Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by lower-tier Laois GAA clubs.

Ballypickas are the title holders (2021) defeating near neighbours Abbeyleix in the Final.

Ballypickas are both the current holders and joint most winners at this grade along with Camross (8).

## Honours

The trophy presented to the winners is the Fr Phelan Cup.

The winners of the Laois Junior Championship qualify to represent their county in the Leinster Junior Club Hurling Championship. They often do well there, with the likes of Ballyfin (2011) getting to a Leinster Final after winning the Laois Junior Hurling Championship but Kilkenny GAA club St Patrick's beat them on their way to the All-Ireland title. The winners can, in turn, go on to play in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
