The Offaly Intermediate Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by mid-tier Offaly GAA clubs. The Offaly County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1929.

History

[edit | edit source]

The intermediate championship dates back to 1929. It was the third hurling championship to be established in Offaly, and was seen as a stepping stone between the senior and junior hurling championships.

Over the years the championship proved difficult to sustain. There were no finals in 1940 and 1941, while the 1949 decider was declared void. In 1959 the championship was suspended, however, it was revived in 1963, only to be suspended again until 1978. It has remained a staple of the hurling calendar since then, however, it has undergone some major changes. Originally played as a straight knock-out championship, the competition was eventually expanded to feature a group stage which provided more games.

Format

[edit | edit source]

The series of games are played during the summer and autumn months. The championship includes a group stage which is followed by a knock-out phase for the top teams.

Eight clubs currently participate in the Intermediate Championship.

Qualification for subsequent competitions

[edit | edit source]

At the end of the championship, the winning team qualify to the subsequent Leinster Junior Club Hurling Championship.
