Wexford Intermediate Hurling Championship


The Wexford Intermediate Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Wexford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1930 for the second tier hurling teams in the county of Wexford in Ireland.
The series of games are played during the summer and autumn months with the county final currently being played at Innovate Wexford Park in October. The championship features a group stage before the top-ranking teams complete a knock-out series of games.
The Wexford Intermediate Championship is an integral part of the wider Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Wexford county final join the champions of the other hurling counties to contest the provincial championship.
Twelve clubs currently participate in the Wexford Intermediate Championship. The title has been won at least once by 38 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Ferns St. Aidan's, who have won the competition six times.
Cloughbawn are the title-holders after defeating HWH Bunclody by 3-17 to 0-14 in the 2019 championship decider replay.

History

The Wexford Intermediate Hurling Championship dates back to 1930. It was the third championship to be established in Wexford following the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship in 1889 and the Wexford Junior Hurling Championship in 1903. The championship was split in two in 2012 with the creation of the new third tier Wexford Intermediate A Hurling Championship.
