About
The Christy Ring Cup is the Tier 2 All-Ireland County Championship in Hurling, named after the great Cork player.
From its inception to 2018 it was a Double-Elimination Cup (dubbed the “Back Door” by the Press) and in 2019 was changed to two groups of 4, playing a Single Round-Robin with Semi-Finals & Final.
