The Devon Intermediate Cup was an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organized by the Devon Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 2009-10 season for club sides based in Devon that operated in tier 7 (Tribute Western Counties West) or tier 8 (Tribute Cornwall/Devon) of the English league system, with Okehampton being the inaugural winners. The Intermediate Cup was the secondary cup competition in the county behind the Devon Senior Cup but ahead of the Devon Junior Cup.
The format was as a knock-out cup with a first round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, which would be played at the home ground of one of the finalists. Clubs knocked out of the earlier rounds would compete in the Devon Intermediate Plate but this was short-lived due to a lack of interest by the participants. In the end a lack of interest by the clubs involved would also led to the downfall of the main competition, with the 2014 final cancelled and the 2016 winners, Kingsbridge, only playing one game (the final) due to teams being unable/or unwilling to fulfill fixtures. As of the 2016-17 season the Devon intermediate Cup has been cancelled, with tier 7 and 8 teams now playing in the Devon Senior Cup instead.
