Éire Óg Carrickmore are the title holders, defeating Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon in the 2023 final.

History

In 2008, the county final was decided in a replay, and was the first time the Tyrone Senior Hurling Club Championship final was ever played under floodlights. Carrickmore captured their 19th title, completing 3-in-row, for the second time in 7 years, and putting them one behind the leaders Eoghan Ruadh with 20. Eoghan Ruadh are the longest serving club since 1944. Eoghan Ruadh Dún Geanainn won the 2009 final un-expectedly defeating rivals Éire Óg An Charraig Mhor to claim their 21st title.

In 2010, Éire Óg reclaimed the Benburb Cup over holders Dungannon. In the 2014 championship finals, Éire Óg defeated Eoghan Ruadh in Healy Park to claim the club's 23rd Senior Championship, making them the record holders of the Benburb Cup.

Format

Since 2005, the competition involves five clubs playing each other once in a round robin group. After all games are completed, the top two teams play each other in the Tyrone Senior Hurling Championship Final for the Benburb Cup while the teams that finish 3rd and 4th play for the Tyrone Junior Hurling Championship.

The top two teams in the group qualify for the final.

Knockout stage

Following the completion of the group stage, the top two teams from each group are ranked (1-6) in terms of points accumulated and scoring difference. The two top-ranking teams receive byes to separate semi-finals.
