The Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Leinster GAA Hurling Intermediate Club Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Leinster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the champion intermediate clubs and, in some cases, champion senior clubs in the province of Leinster in Ireland.

The Leinster Intermediate Club Championship was introduced in 2004. In its current format, the championship begins in late October or early November and is usually played over a four-week period. The eight participating club teams compete in a straight knockout competition that culminates with the Leinster final for the two remaining teams. The winner of the Leinster Intermediate Championship qualifies for the subsequent All-Ireland Club Championship.

The competition has been won by 16 club teams, while Carrickshock and Dicksboro are the only clubs to have won the title more than once. Kilkenny clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories with 12 wins.

Bray Emmets are the reigning champions, having beaten Trim by 0-17 to 0-11 in the 2022 final.[1]
