# Monaghan Senior Hurling Championship

The Monaghan Senior Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by top-tier Monaghan GAA clubs. The Monaghan County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1909.
Castleblayney Hurling Club are the title holders (2024), having defeated Inniskeen Grattans in the Final.

## History

The trophy presented to the winners was the Blayney Shoe Company Cup (1945-1996) and now the Mick Quigley Cup (since 1997).

The winners can, in turn, go on to play in the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship or All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
The Mick Hannon DHL (Development Hurling League) is the Monaghan reserve hurling league. It was renamed in 2020, with Inniskeen being the first team to win the Mick Hannon Cup in 2021, defeating Carrickmacross in the final on a scoreline of 3-07 to 1-07.
