For the senior hurling equivalent see: Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship The Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Leinster GAA Hurling Intermediate Club Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Leinster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the champion intermediate clubs and, in some cases, champion senior clubs in the province of Leinster in Ireland.
The Leinster Intermediate Club Championship was introduced in 2004. In its current format, the championship begins in late October or early November and is usually played over a four-week period. The eight participating club teams compete in a straight knockout competition that culminates with the Leinster final for the two remaining teams. The winner of the Leinster Intermediate Championship qualifies for the subsequent All-Ireland Club Championship.
The competition has been won by 18 club teams, while Carrickshock and Dicksboro are the only clubs to have won the title more than once. Kilkenny clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories with 13 wins.
Danesfort CLG are the title holders, defeating Ratoath GAA by 2-15 to 0-12 in the 2025 final.
History
The 2006 Intermediate championship featured teams from Westmeath, Wexford, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath. Since 2007, all the counties mentioned except Kilkenny and Wexford are not represented in the Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship and this gives these so-called weaker counties a chance to participate in a major competition. With Clonkill of Westmeath winning the Leinster Intermediate title and going on to capture the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship in 2007/08, the Westmeath champions have since participated in the Leinster Senior Championship, with noticeable results.
A fight broke out at the 2022 Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship quarter-final match between Oulart–The Ballagh of Wexford and Naomh Barróg of Dublin at Parnell Park, first of all involving players and then spreading into the supporters in the stand. The Leinster GAA announced an investigation and An Garda Síochána gave a statement to RTÉ's This Week programme that it was aware of video footage of the incident had been uploaded to social media. Oulart–The Ballagh had been tipped to win the game but lost.
The Leinster Council proposed bans of up to a year for players and fines and/or proposed bans for spectators. The saga then continued when eight players appealed their bans.
