The Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship trophy commemorates the late Tony Murphy (1935-2005), a former Kerry and Kenmare Shamrocks hurler and a member of the 1961 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship winning team.

The winners play in the Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship, such as Kilgarvan in 2018,[2][3] and if successful there, can represent the province in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
