The 1965 All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship was the fifth staging of the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1961. The championship ran from 11 April to 19 September 1965.

Wexford entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Cork in the All-Ireland home final.[1][2]

The All-Ireland final was played on 19 September 1965 at the Athletic Grounds in Cork, between Cork and London, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Cork won the match by 2-20 to 5-05 to claim their first ever All-Ireland title.[3][4]

Wexford's Martin Nolan and Cork's Billy Galligan were the championship's joint-top scorers.
