Overview

All but two of the twenty-four teams from the 2014 championship participated in the top tier of Cork hurling in 2015.

Ballyhea, who defeated Newcestown by 1-17 to 0-16 in the final of the premier intermediate championship in 2014, gained automatic promotion to the senior championship.

Similarly, Killeagh defeated Courcey Rovers by 1–18 to 0–16 in the 2014 senior relegation play-off, and so Courcey Rovers were relegated to the premier intermediate grade for 2015.

Divisional side Muskerry withdrew on the eve of the championship.
