The Tyrone Intermediate Football Club Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the WJ Dolan Tyrone Intermediate Football Club Championship) is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the 12 Tyrone clubs competing in Division 2 of the Tyrone All-County Football league.

The winners of the Tyrone Championship qualify to represent their county in the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship and in turn, go on to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship. They also gain promotion to Division 1 (until 2007 Division 1B) of the Tyrone All-County Football league for the following season, regardless of their final standing in the Division 2 league that year. Therefore as the winners compete in the Tyrone Senior Football Championship the following year, the holders do not defend their title.

The winners of the 2006 Tyrone Intermediate Football Club Championship were Stewartstown Harps who defeated Strabane Sigersons 0-14 to 0-8 in the final at Healy Park, Omagh.

History

The tournament was first held in 1962 with Cookstown the first champions defeating Galbally in the final.
