The Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling League is an annual competition organised by the Kilkenny County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1992 for the second tier of hurling teams in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland. Teams compete for the Pat Tierney Memorial Cup and the competition is played in advance of the Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling Championship.
The league format consists of 12 teams divided into two groups of six in which each team plays each other once. The top team in each group qualifies for the league final. The second-placed team in each group qualifies to compete for a subsidiary title in the shield final.
The top two teams in each group qualify for the quarter-final stage of the subsequent Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling Championship while the remaining eight teams compete in the first round.
Thomastown are the current intermediate hurling league title holders[1] and the competition’s most successful team, winning seven times in total. They achieved a five in a row from 2019 to 2023.
