New York Senior Hurling Championship

The New York Senior Hurling Championship is an annual competition between hurling clubs affiliated with the New York GAA. Most Gaelic Athletic Association clubs are based on the counties of Ireland, though sometimes players will play with a different team in New York from their own county. The final is played in Gaelic Park in the Bronx. The winning team is presented with the Michael Flannery Cup. The 2025 champions are Westmeath NY who defeated Hoboken Guards on a score of 3-21 to 3-18.

Format

Group stage Six clubs start in the group stage. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed five group games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top four teams qualify for the knockout stage

Knockout stage Semi-finals: The top four teams from the group stage contest this round. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Relegation The bottom-placed team from the group stage is relegated to the New York Junior A Hurling Championship.
