Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox GAA tournament The Ulster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Ulster GAA Hurling Intermediate Club Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the champion intermediate clubs and, in some cases, champion senior clubs in the province of Ulster in Ireland.

The Ulster Intermediate Club Championship was introduced in 2004. In its current format, the championship begins in late October or early November and is usually played over a four-week period. The seven participating club teams compete in a straight knockout competition that culminates with the Ulster final for the two remaining teams. The winner of the Ulster Intermediate Championship qualifies for the subsequent All-Ireland Club Championship.

The competition has been won by 15 club teams, while Gort na Móna, St. Gall's and Middletown Na Fianna are the only clubs to have won the title more than once. Antrim clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories with 12 wins.

Setanta are the reigning champions, having beaten Eire Og Carrickmore in the 2023 final.

Format

Overview

The Ulster Championship is a single elimination tournament. Each team is afforded only one defeat before being eliminated from the championship. Pairings for matches are drawn at random and there is no seeding.

Each match is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn there is a period of extra time, however, if both sides are still level at the end of extra time penalties are taken to determine a winner.

Competition format

Quarter-final: Six teams contest this round. The three winning teams advance directly to the semi-final stage. The three losing teams are eliminated from the championship.

Semi-finals: Four teams contest this round; the three winning teams from the quarter-finals and one team who receives a bye. The two winning teams advance directly to the final. The two losing teams are eliminated from the championship.

Final: The final is contested by the two semi-final winners.
