All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship

The All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the GAA. It is played between the Intermediate championship winners from each of the thirty-two counties of Ireland. Each team competes in their own provincial championship, with the four provincial winners competing in the All-Ireland. The competition has a straight knock-out format. It was first held in 2004 as an unofficial tournament, and has been an official GAA championship since the 2004–05 edition.
