The South East Junior A Football Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Huntsman Bar & Restaurant Junior A Football Championship) is an annual club Gaelic football competition organised by the Carrigdhoun Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by junior-ranked teams in the southeastern region of County Cork, Ireland, deciding the competition winners through a group and knockout format.
Introduced in 1929 as the South East Junior Football Championship, it was initially a straight knockout tournament. The competition went through a number of format changes since then, including the introduction of a back-door or second chance for beaten teams.
In its present format, the seven teams are drawn into two groups and play each other in a single round-robin system. The two group winners and two group runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final. The winner of the South East Junior A Championship qualifies for the subsequent Cork Junior A Football Championship.
The title has been won at least once by 14 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Kinsale, who have won a total of 18 titles. Ballygarvan are the title-holders after defeating Carrigaline by 1âÂÂ14 to 0âÂÂ16 in the 2025 final.
