The series of games are played during the summer and autumn months with the county final currently being played in October. The championship features a group stage before the top-ranking teams complete a knock-out series of games.

The Wexford Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Leinster Junior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Wexford county final join the champions of the other hurling counties to contest the provincial championship.

Twelve clubs currently participate in the Wexford Junior Championship. The all-time record-holders are Ferns St. Aidan's, who have won the competition five times.

Rathnure are the title-holders after defeating Rapparees by 1-15 to 1-06 in the 2018 championship decider replay.[1]

History

The Wexford Junior Hurling Championship dates back to 1903. It was the second championship to be established in Wexford following the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship in 1889.
