The top two teams in the group qualify for the final.

=== Notes ===
{{smalldiv|
''- 1904 Hurling Championship was organised alongside the 1904 Football Championship in late 1904, and both competitions ended up being completed in 1905. The hurling final was played on 19th February 1905 and was replayed on 7th May 1905 following an objection.''
''- 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.''
