The Waterford Junior A Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Junior Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Waterford JAHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Waterford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1924 and contested by the divisional junior champions in the county of Waterford in Ireland. It is the fourth tier overall in the entire Waterford hurling championship system.
In its current format, the championship begins after the conclusion of the respective Eastern and Western divisional championships. Both divisional champions contest the final, usually at Walsh Park, to determine the county champions. The winner gains automatic promotion to the Waterford Intermediate Championship the following season.
Lismore are the most successful teams in the tournament's history, having won it seven times each. Roanmore are the title holders after defeating Kilrossanty by 4-17 to 1-10 in the 2024 final.[1]
