The 1969 All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship was the ninth staging of the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1961. The championship ran from 20 April to 12 October 1969.
London were the defending champions, however, they availed of their right to promotion to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship and did not field a team.[1][2]
The All-Ireland final was played at Thurles Sportsfield on 12 October 1969 between Kildare and Cork, in what was their first ever championship meeting. Kildare won the match by 2-08 to 3-04 to claim their first ever All-Ireland title.[3][4][5]
Cork's Séamus Gillen was the championship's top scorer with 3-22.
