The City Junior A Football Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the EBO Home Rescue City Junior A Football Championship) is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Seandún Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1926 for junior Gaelic football teams in Cork, Ireland.

The series of games begin in May, with the championship culminating with the final in the autumn. The championship includes a backdoor format whereby each team is guaranteed at least two games.

The City Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior A Football Championship. The winners of the city championship join their counterparts from the other seven divisions to contest the county championship. 10 clubs currently participate in the City Championship.

Mayfield are the title-holders, defeating Nemo Rangers by 3-09 to 1-07 in the 2023 final.
