=== Championship ===
=== Group stage ===
The 7 clubs are divided into a group of four and a group of three. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed two group games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group qualify for the semi-finals.
'''First round:''' Ten teams contest the five first round matches with one team receiving a bye to the second round. The winners advance to the quarter-finals and the losers advance to the second round.


=== Knockout stage ===
'''Second round:''' The five first round losers join the team given a bye to contest the three second round matches. The winners advance to the quarter-finals and the losers are eliminated from the championship.
'''Semi-finals:''' The 2 group winners and 2 group runners-up contest this round. A group winner will play a group runner-up of another group. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.


'''Quarter-finals:''' The three second round winners join the five first round winners to contest the four quarter-final matches. The winners advance to the semi-finals.
'''Final:''' The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions and are promoted to the [[Kerry Senior Hurling Championship]].


=== Relegation ===
'''Semi-finals:''' The four quarter-final winners contest the two semi-final matches. The winners advance to the final.
There is no direct relegation to the Kerry Junior Hurling Championship.

The Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by mid-tier Kerry GAA clubs.

The Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship trophy commemorates the late Tony Murphy (1935-2005), a former Kerry and Kenmare Shamrocks hurler and a member of the 1961 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship winning team.

Extra-time can be used to determine the winners of games.[1]

Kilgarvan are the title holders, defeating St Brendan's by 5-11 to 1-09 in the 2024 final.

History

[edit]

The winners play in the Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship, such as Kilgarvan in 2018,[2][3] and if successful there, can represent the province in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship. Unlike in other counties, the winning team is not always automatically promoted to the senior grade after winning. Since Kerry has very few hurling clubs, many of the competing teams are second teams of clubs competing in the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship.

Format

[edit]

Group stage

[edit]

The 7 clubs are divided into a group of four and a group of three. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed two group games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group qualify for the semi-finals.

Knockout stage

[edit]

Semi-finals: The 2 group winners and 2 group runners-up contest this round. A group winner will play a group runner-up of another group. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions and are promoted to the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship.

Relegation

[edit]

There is no direct relegation to the Kerry Junior Hurling Championship.

Qualification

[edit]

At the end of the championship, the winning club qualify to the subsequent Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship.
