The Tyrone Intermediate Football Club Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Connollys of Moy Tyrone Intermediate Football Club Championship [1] ) is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by mid-tier Tyrone GAA clubs.

Contents

Derrylaughan are the title holders (2024) defeating Moy in the final.

History

The tournament was first held in 1962, with Cookstown the first champions defeating Galbally in the final.

The semi-final of the 2021 Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship was abandoned after eight minutes and an Air Ambulance had to land on the pitch at Healy Park to care for the injured. [2] [3]

From 2018, all championship games have been streamed live on Tyrone TV. [4]

Format

The 16 clubs in Division 2 of the All-County Football League in Tyrone compete on a straight knockout basis.

Honours

The trophy presented to the winners is the Paddy Cullen Cup. [5] The winners of the Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship qualify for the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship, representing their county, later that year.

The winners can then go on to compete in the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship.

The winners of the Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship also gain promotion to Division 1 (until 2007 Division 1B) of the Tyrone All-County Football league for the following season, regardless of their final standing in the Division 2 league that year. Therefore as the winners compete in the Tyrone Senior Football Championship the following year, the holders do not defend their title. [6]
