Cork Intermediate Football Championship

Cork Intermediate Football Championship is a Gaelic Athletic Association competition between second tier Gaelic football clubs organised by Cork GAA. The championship was discontinued after 1938 because of a lack of clubs. From 1939 until 1964 any team that won the Junior County Football Final went directly to Senior competition. The Intermediate Championship was revived in 1965 and continues to this day. In 2006, the championship was split into two grades (Premier Intermediate and Intermediate A). The winner of the intermediate championship usually plays in the Cork Senior Football Championship the following year. With the current split, the winning club of the "Premier Intermediate" is promoted to the senior level, while the winning club of the "Intermediate A" plays in the "Premier Intermediate" in the following year. The winners of the Premier title represent Cork GAA in the Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship. In 2013, Clyda Rovers GAA won the "Premier Intermediate" title beating Macroom GAA in the final and they also went on to win the Munster Championship.
