The draw for the 2015 fixtures took place on 14 December 2014 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The championship began on 11 April 2015 and is scheduled to end in October 2015.

Teams

All but two of the twenty-four teams from the 2014 championship are participating in the top tier of Cork hurling in 2015.

Ballyhea, who defeated Newcestown by 1-17 to 0-16 in the final of the premier intermediate championship in 2014, will gain automatic promotion to the senior championship.^[2]

Similarly, Killeagh defeated Courcey Rovers by 1–18 to 0–16 in the 2014 senior relegation play-off, and so Courcey Rovers were relegated to the premier intermediate grade for 2015.^[3]

Divisional side Muskerry withdrew on the eve of the championship.
