The Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by mid-tier Kerry GAA clubs.
The Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship trophy commemorates the late Tony Murphy (1935-2005), a former Kerry and Kenmare Shamrocks hurler and a member of the 1961 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship winning team.
Extra-time can be used to determine the winners of games. [1]
Tralee Parnells are the title holders, defeating St Brendan's by 0-19 to 1-06 in the 2023 final,
The winners play in the Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship, such as Kilgarvan in 2018, [2] [3] and if successful there, can represent the province in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship. Unlike in other counties, the winning team is not always automatically promoted to the senior grade after winning. Since Kerry has very few hurling clubs, many of the competing teams are second teams of clubs competing in the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship.
