Wexford Intermediate Football Championship

Club GAA football in the second tier carries a particular intensity - these are the teams working to prove themselves, to earn promotion, and to bring silverware to a community that has been waiting. The Wexford Intermediate Football Championship runs across July and August 2026, with Wexford GAA organising competitive club matches at grounds throughout the county. It suits GAA followers who enjoy watching football that is sharp and local, supporters travelling to grounds they do not usually visit, and anyone who has a connection to a Wexford club and wants to see them in action.

What to expect

Intermediate is the second tier in Wexford club football, sitting between senior and junior. Clubs that have been relegated from the senior grade compete alongside others pushing upward from junior, which makes for a genuinely competitive mix of experience and ambition.

The championship runs a round-robin group stage - typically two groups of around six clubs each - with the top teams advancing to knockout rounds. Matches are played at club grounds across County Wexford rather than at one central venue, so the atmosphere is a proper local one: tight sidelines, vocal home support, and no corporate frills.

Fixtures for 22 July will be confirmed on the Wexford GAA website and app. Check wexford.gaa.ie in the days before for the specific venue and throw-in time, as scheduling can shift with the summer calendar.

Getting there

Wexford town itself is well served from Dublin by Bus Eireann and Irish Rail (Wexford station on the Rosslare Europort line), with the journey taking roughly two hours by rail. By car from Dublin, the N11/M11 south is the main route, about two hours in normal traffic.

Club grounds are spread across the county - locations like Enniscorthy, Gorey, New Ross, and smaller parish venues come into the picture throughout the summer. If you are travelling from outside the county, confirm the match venue first, as driving to the wrong end of Wexford adds a good half-hour. Parking at club grounds is generally free and plentiful, with field-side car parks standard at GAA venues.

While you’re in Wexford

County Wexford has a long coastline, a strong GAA tradition, and good stops around Enniscorthy and the Slaney valley that reward a longer visit. There is more to see in Wexford and across Co. Wexford.
