The Waterford Intermediate Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Intermediate Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Waterford IHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Waterford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1964 and contested by the divisional intermediate champions in the county of Waterford in Ireland. It is the third tier overall in the entire Waterford hurling championship system.
In its current format, the championship begins after the conclusion of the respective Eastern and Western divisional championships. Both divisional champions contest the final, usually at Walsh Park, to determine the county champions. The winner gains automatic promotion to the Waterford Premier Intermediate Championship the following season.
The competition has been won by 30 teams. Ballyduff Upper and Clonea are the most successful teams in the tournament's history, having won it four times each. Brickey Rangers are the title holders after defeating Portlaw by 0-23 to 1-14 in the 2023 final.[1]
