List of finals
[edit]Notes
[edit]- 1907, 2012 & 2013 SHC's consisted of just two teams, hence SHC Competition was limited to one game (final).
- No losing finalist for 1932 or 1933 as the winner topped the table (i.e. No final - League format).
- Granard hurling club won the Cavan Senior Hurling Championship in 1950, beating Ballyhaise by 5-3 to 1-1 in the final.
- 2011 final was declared null and void by CCCC after a dispute arose over the scheduling of dates for the decider.
- Longford Slashers played hurling as Slashers Gaels until the 2000's.See also
