The 1911 Cork Senior Hurling Championship was the 24th staging of the annual senior hurling competition organized by the Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It featured senior hurling clubs from County Cork, Ireland, competing for the county title and the right to represent Cork in the subsequent Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship (when such a provincial competition was later instituted).
Championship outcome
- Winners: Blackrock Hurling Club, securing what is recorded as their 13th senior county title.
- Runners‑up: Redmonds Hurling Club.
The final match was contested between Blackrock and Redmonds, with Blackrock emerging victorious. Detailed match statistics such as the exact date of the final, the venue, and the final score are not consistently documented in readily available public sources; consequently, those specifics remain unverified in the current literature.
