Waterford Intermediate Hurling Championship

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.

In its current format, the championship begins after the conclusion of the respective Eastern and Western divisional championships.

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.
