The Waterford Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship (abbreviated to the Waterford PIHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Waterford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the top-ranking intermediate clubs in the county of Waterford in Ireland. It is the second tier overall in the entire Waterford hurling championship system.
The Waterford Premier Intermediate Championship was introduced in 2023 following a restructuring of the intermediate championship.
In its current format, the championship begins in mid summer. The eight participating teams are drawn into two groups of four teams and play each other in a round-robin system. All eight teams proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Walsh Park. The winner of the Waterford Premier Intermediate Championship qualifies for the subsequent Munster Club Championship.
Brickey Rangers are the title holders after defeating Clashmore–Kinsalebeg by 1–23 to 0–22 in the 2024 final.[1]
