Waterford Intermediate Hurling Championship is a third-tier hurling competition organised by the Waterford Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association.The final is contested by the winners of the Western and Eastern intermediate championships. The winning club progresses to the premier intermediate grade the following year for the Waterford Premier Intermediate hurling championship.

Until 2022 the winners of this competition were promoted to the senior ranks for the subsequence season, when in 2022 it was decided that a premier intermediate grade would be introduced.
