The Ulster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Ulster GAA Hurling Intermediate Club Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the champion intermediate clubs and, in some cases, champion senior clubs in the province of Ulster in Ireland.
The Ulster 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 seven participating club teams compete in a straight knockout competition that culminates with the Ulster final for the two remaining teams. The winner of the Ulster Intermediate Championship qualifies for the subsequent All-Ireland Club Championship.
The competition has been won by 15 club teams, while Gort na Móna, St. Gall's and Middletown Na Fianna are the only clubs to have won the title more than once. Antrim clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories with 12 wins.
Liatroim Fontenoys are the reigning champions, having beaten Middletown Na Fianna by 2-20 to 0-21 in the 2022 final.[1]
