The 1998 All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 15th staging of the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1961. The championship ran from 31 May to 10 October 1998.

Cork entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Limerick in the Munster quarter-final.[1]

The All-Ireland final was played at Semple Stadium in Thurles on 10 October 1998 between Limerick and Kilkenny, in what was their first ever championship meeting. Limerick won the match by 4-16 to 2-17 to claim their first ever All-Ireland title.[2][3]
