The Kilkenny Intermediate Football Championship (also known for sponsorship reasons as the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Kilkenny Intermediate Football Championship) is an annual Gaelic football competition which has been organised by the Kilkenny County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1990, for the second-tier football teams in County Kilkenny, Ireland.

The series of games are played during the autumn and winter months with the county final played in December.[citation needed] The championship has historically been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the series.[citation needed]

The title has been won at least once by seventeen different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Barrow Rangers, Piltown, Mullinavat, Kilmoganny and Thomastown, who have all won the competition twice.

Conahy Shamrocks became the 2017 title-holders after defeating Rower-Inistioge 1-08 to 0-08 in the final.[citation needed]
