The Clare Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship (abbreviated to the Clare PIHC) is an annual GAA club competition organised by the Clare County Board for hurling clubs below the Senior grade. It is contested by the top-ranking intermediate clubs in County Clare, Ireland. It is the second-tier adult competition of the Clare hurling pyramid. [1] [2]

Contents

In 2025 another reshuffle of the Clare hurling pyramid came into existence. Two new grades (Premier Intermediate and Premier Junior B) were created by the Clare County Board, with every grade below the sixteen team Senior grade becoming a new or updated championship. Each lower grade was to have a maximum of ten teams, split into two groups of five.

Munster club qualification

Prior to the creation of the Clare PIHC, the winners of the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship qualified to represent Clare in the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship. From 2025, the winners of the Clare PIHC will have this honour. However, if a second- or third-string team wins the Clare PIHC, they will be replaced by the highest finishing first-string team.

Three Clare clubs have won the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship:

Four more Clare clubs have reached the Munster intermediate club final:

No Clare club has won the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.
