The 2022 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship was the third staging of the Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship and the 134th staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking hurling teams in Cork. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 8 February 2022.[1] The championship ran from 7 June to 16 October 2022.

Midleton entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify for the knockout stage after losing two games and finishing bottom of Group A.[2][3] Na Piarsaigh's relegation ended 65 years of top tier hurling for the club.[4]

The final was played on 16 October 2022 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, between Blackrock and St. Finbarr's, in what was their first meeting in the final in 40 years.[5] St. Finbarr's won the match by 2–14 to 1–07 to claim their 26th championship title overall and a first title in 29 years.[6]

Stephen Condon and Ben Cunningham were the championship's joint-top scorers.
