The City Junior A Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the BCE Consulting Engineers City Junior A Hurling Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Seandún Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1926 for junior-graded hurling teams in Cork, Ireland.

The series of games is usually played during the summer months. The championship uses a double elimination format whereby each team is guaranteed at least two games.

The City Junior Championship is part of the wider Cork Junior A Hurling Championship. The winners of the City Championship join their counterparts from the other six divisions to contest the county championship.

As of 2024, 10 clubs participate in the City Championship.

Whitechurch are the title-holders after defeating Passage West by 0-25 to 3-14 in the 2024 final.
