The Laois Intermediate Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Laois Shopping Centre Intermediate Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Laois IHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Laois County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association for the third tier hurling teams in the county of Laois in Ireland.
In its current format, the Laois Intermediate Championship begins with a group stage in mid-summer. The eight participating teams are divided into two groups of four and play each other in a round-robin system. The three top-ranking teams in each group proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Laois Hire O'Moore Park.
The title has been won by 35 different clubs, 25 of which have won the title more than once.[1] Clonaslee is the most successful team in the tournament's history, having won it eight times. Colt–Shanahoe are the title holders after defeating Trumera by 4-15 to 0-14 in the 2023 final.[2]
