The 2013 Cork Senior Hurling Championship was the 125th staging of the Cork Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment in 1887. The championship began on 26 March 2013 and ended on 3 November 2013.
Sarsfield's were the defending champions and made it all the way to the final, however, they were defeated by Midleton on a 2âÂÂ15 to 2âÂÂ13 score line.
Sarsfield's were installed as the early favourites to retain the title for a fourth time in six years and put back-to-back titles together for the first time in their history. Midleton and Cork Institute of Technology were regarded as the two teams that could provide the strongest challenge to Sarsfield's supremacy once again. St. Finbarr's were ranked at 25/1 as they hoped to end a twenty-year wait for the Seán ÃÂg Murphy Cup. Roll of honour leaders Blackrock were ranked at 50/1. Divisional side and Gaelic football stronghold Duhallow were bottom of the pile and are tipped at 100/1 to take the title.
