The Devon Intermediate Cup is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organized by the Devon Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 2009-10 season with Okehampton being the inaugural winners. The competition was briefly discontinued at the end of the 2015-16 season due to a perceived lack of interest from clubs with the 2014 final being cancelled and the 2016 winners, Kingsbridge, only playing one game (the final) due to teams being unable/or unwilling to fulfil fixtures.[1][2] It was reinstated once more for the 2017-18 season.
The Intermediate Cup is currently the secondary cup competition in the county behind the Devon Senior Cup but ahead of the Devon Junior Cup, for club sides based in Devon that play in tier 7 (Tribute Western Counties West) of the English rugby union league system. Since 2018–19 the format will change from a knockout cup competition to a hybrid league-cup. Running alongside it will be the Devon Intermediate Shield, which is for club sides in Devon that play in tier 8 (Tribute Cornwall/Devon) and will also use the a hybrid league-cup format.[3][4]
