The winners of the Ulster Intermediate Hurling Championship each year progress to play the other provincial champions for a chance to win the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship. The competition has not been played since 1999. In 2000, Down and London took part in open draw portion of the All-Ireland Championship. Hurling is not strong enough in the province to keep the championship in existence. Only Antrim is capable of fielding a second team. In fact, prior to the establishment of this championship, Antrim competed in the Leinster Intermediate Hurling Championship from 1961 until 1965.
