The 2024 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship (known as the Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Football Championship for sponsorship reasons) [4] is the current instalment of the Kerry Intermediate Football Championship. The tournament consists of Kerry GAA's 16 intermediate club teams.

Format

The championship will have a similar format to 2023. The draw took place at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on 15th February, 2024.[4] The 16 clubs were drawn into four groups of 4 teams each with the semi-final and final losers from 2023 (Killarney Legion, Austin Stacks, Fossa) and the Kerry SFC relegated team (Kerins O'Rahilly's) being seeded. Each team will play the other three teams in their group once, having one home match, one away match and one at a neutral venue. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals with each group winner to play the runner-up of another group at home.[5]
In a change to the 2023 format there will be no relegation to the Junior Premier Championship in 2024. This is due to changes to the Senior Championships which will commence in 2025.[6]
