The Clare Intermediate Football Championship (abbreviated to Clare IFC) is an annual GAA club competition organised by the Clare County Board for gaelic football clubs below senior level. It is contested by the top-ranking intermediate gaelic football clubs in County Clare, Ireland. It is the second-tier adult competition of the Clare football pyramid.
The Clare IFC was introduced in 1927 as a county-wide competition for gaelic football clubs deemed not strong enough for senior level, and too strong for junior level. In later years the Clare IFC was opened to the second-, third-, and/or fourth-string teams from higher-ranked clubs.
In 2016 the Clare County Board decided that from 2019 onwards the Clare senior and intermediate championships would both become revamped twelve-team competitions in an effort to make both more competitive. This meant that five clubs would lose their senior status and be relegated down to intermediate. The eleven remaining senior clubs would be joined by the 2018 intermediate champions to form the new senior championship. 2018 saw the relegation of Doora-Barefield, Kilfenora, O'Curry's, St. Breckan's and Wolfe Tones down to intermediate for 2019.
The winners of the Clare IFC are presented with the Talty Stores Cup, and are promoted to the Clare Senior Football Championship.
The current (2025) champions are Corofin who defeated Cooraclare by 2-14 to 2-09, to win their first title since 2021, and fifth overall at this grade.
