The 1963 All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship was the third staging of the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1961. The championship ran from 7 April to 8 September 1963.

Carlow were the defending champions, however, they availed of their right to promotion to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship and did not field a team.[1][2][3][4]

The All-Ireland final was played at Thurles Sportsfield on 8 September 1963 between Tipperary and London, in what was their first ever championship meeting. Tipperary won the match by 1-10 to 1-07 to claim their first ever All-Ireland title.[5][6]

Tipperary's Michael Keating was the championship's top scorer with 0-33.
