What is correct - an year or a year?

"A year" is the correct version. Although the letter "y" can sometimes be used as a vowel, it's only when it's the only non-consonant in the word such as in "my," "by," or "fry." When "y" is at the beginning of the word, it acts as a consonant therefore "a" is appropriate.
