There is also promotion involving the Limerick Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship.
The winners of the Limerick county final don't proceed to Munster competition anymore.
After an absence of nearly half a century the intermediate championship was reorganised again in 1975, however, it survived only three seasons before being abolished for the third time in its history.
By 1988 the gap between the senior and junior grades proved too great and the intermediate championship was introduced once again.
Originally played as a straight knock-out championship, the competition was eventually expanded to feature a group stage which provided more games.
