Cork endured disappointing campaigns at minor this year, well beaten by Kerry and Mayo in football, and exiting at the hands of Wexford in the hurling qualifiers after missing out on a Munster title. 

The Rebels were minor and All-Ireland hurling champions in 2021 while the footballers secured consecutive Munster crowns in 2021 and '22. 

John Meyler served as Cork minor hurling boss this summer with Haulie O'Sullivan at the helm of the footballers.
