Three teams contest the Longford Senior Hurling Championship. Clonguish Gaels enter the championship as the defending champions.[1][2] Longford Slashers and Wolfe Tones (Mostrim) round out the field.
This year would see an introduction of a round-robin stage, replacing the straight knockout format. Each team plays the other once in a three-game system, guaranteeing at least two championship games. Top two teams after three rounds play in a lone final. There is no relegation.
The final would see Longford Slashers and Clonguish Gaels meet at Pearse Park, in a repeat of last year's final.[3] Clonguish Gaels defeated Longford Slashers by 2-14 to 1-14, winning back-to-back titles and their seventh overall.[4]
Clonguish Gaels will represent Longford in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.[5]
