The 2020 champions, and holders of the Jack Daly Cup are Kilmurry-Ibrickane who won their sixteenth overall title after defeating Cratloe in a repeat of the 2016 final, also won by Kilmurry-Ibrickane.
In 2020 a decision was made to not relegate any team from any championship in Clare due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. As a result, there will be two teams relegated from senior level down to intermediate for 2022 in order to revert to the preferred twelve-team championship format.
