# Armagh Intermediate Football Championship

The Armagh Intermediate Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by mid-tier Armagh GAA clubs. The national media covers the competition.
St. Patrick’s Cullyhanna are the title holders (2023) after absolutely obliterating St Paul's Lurgan in the Final.

## History

The 2014 Armagh IFC winning club was St Paul's, which defeated the Grange by a scoreline of 2-13 to 2-10. Andrew Murnin gave a match-winning performance in the final.
The competition is often contested by senior inter-county players, for example, Clan na Gael's Stefan Campbell (who was captain of Armagh at the time) contested the 2020 final, a game in which he went up against another of Armagh's leading full-forwards, Andrew Murnin of St Paul's.
