The Galway Intermediate Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Galmont Hotel Intermediate Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Galway IHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Galway County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the top-ranking intermediate clubs in the county of Galway in Ireland. It is the second tier overall in the entire Galway hurling championship system.

Contents

The Galway Intermediate Championship was introduced in 1949 as a competition that would bridge the gap between the senior grade and the junior grade.

In its current format, the Galway Intermediate Championship begins in April. The 14 participating teams are drawn into two groups of seven teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The four top-ranking teams in both groups proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Kenny Park in October. The winner of the Galway Intermediate Championship, as well as being presented with the Mick Sylver Cup, qualifies for the subsequent Connacht Club Championship.

The competition has been won by 37 teams, 19 of which have won it more than once. Mullagh, Pádraig Pearses and Killimordaly are the most successful teams in the tournament's history, having won it 4 times each. Killimor are the reigning champions, having beaten Meelick-Eyrecourt by 0-13 to 0-09 in the 2022 final in Duggan Park Ballinasloe on October 15, 2022.
