The Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship is an annual inter-county club hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) since 2003 for eligible hurling clubs. Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their county club championships.
The final, usually held in late November, serves as the culmination of a series of games played during the late autumn and early winter months, and the results determine which county's team receives the cup. The championship has always been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the series.
The Munster Championship is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Munster final join the champions of Connacht, Leinster, London and Ulster in the All-Ireland series of games.
No team has ever won the championship on more than one occasion. Cork clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories (5 wins), followed by Clare (3 wins). The championship has been won by 13 different clubs. The reigning champions are Wolfe Tones na Sionna, who secured the title after defeating Newcestown by 1-18 to 2-13 in the 2015 final.
The Munster GAA Hurling All-Ireland Intermediate Club Championship features six teams in the final tournament. 87 teams contest the six county club championships with the six respective champions automatically qualifying for the Munster series.
