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]

Tralee Parnells are the title holders, defeating St Brendan's by 0-19 to 1-06 in the 2023 final,

History

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. Kilmoyley were also one of the current Munster finalists which they were in January 2022.[4][5] They won that game to become the first Kerry club to a Munster intermediate title.[6][7] They went on to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship final at Croke Park.[8][9]

Format

Championship

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.

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.

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.

Semi-finals: The four quarter-final winners contest the two semi-final matches. The winners advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Promotion, relegation and qualification

Promotion: At the end of the championship, the winning team is automatically promoted to the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship for the following season.

Relegation: The three second round losers take part in a series of play-offs, with the losing team being relegated to the Kerry Junior Hurling Championship.
