The 2013 Cork Senior Hurling Championship was the 127th staging of the Cork Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment in 1887. The championship began on 26 March 2013 and ended on 3 November 2013.

Sarsfield's were the defending champions and made it all the way to the final, however, they were defeated by Midleton on a 2–15 to 2–13 score line.[1][2]

Pre-championship

Sarsfield's were installed as the early favourites to retain the title for a fourth time in six years and put back-to-back titles together for the first time in their history. Midleton and Cork Institute of Technology were regarded as the two teams that could provide the strongest challenge to Sarsfield's supremacy once again. St. Finbarr's were ranked at 25/1 as they hoped to end a twenty-year wait for the Seán Óg Murphy Cup. Roll of honour leaders Blackrock were ranked at 50/1. Divisional side and Gaelic football stronghold Duhallow were bottom of the pile and are tipped at 100/1 to take the title.[3]

Teams

All but one of the twenty-five teams from the 2012 championship participated in the top tier of Cork hurling in 2013.

Ballinhassig, who defeated Bandon by 1–19 to 1–15 in the final of the premier intermediate championship in 2012, availed of their right to automatic promotion to the senior championship.[4] They were relegated following the conclusion of the 2011 championship.

Similarly, Bride Rovers defeated Cloyne by a single point in the 2012 relegation play-off, and so Cloyne were relegated to the premier intermediate grade for 2013.[5]
