The Waterford Intermediate Hurling Championship (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 lower-ranking intermediate clubs 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 at Walsh Park to determine the county champions. The winner gains automatic promotion to the Waterford Premier Intermediate Championship the following season.

Brickey Rangers are the title holders after defeating Portlaw by 0-23 to 1-14 in the 2023 final.[1]

Qualification for subsequent competitions

Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship

Up to and including 2022, the Waterford IHC winners qualify for the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship. It was the only team from County Waterford to qualify for this competition. The Waterford IHC winners enter the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship at the __ stage. For example, 2014 winner Cappoquin won the Munster IHC,[2] as did 2016 winner Lismore.[3] In 2022 Ballygunner’s intermediate team won the intermediate championship and did not represent Waterford in the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, instead it was beaten county finalist, Ballysaggart, that took their place.

All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship

Up to and including 2022, the Waterford IHC winners — by winning the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship — may qualify for the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, at which they would enter at the __ stage. For example, 2016 Waterford IHC winner Lismore contested the All-Ireland Championship and, in a game played at Tullamore, County Offaly (neutral territory), were unexpectedly knocked out by eventual champions Ahascragh-Fohenagh (featuring Cathal and Pádraic Mannion, who won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship with Galway).[4]
