Format

At the end of the league programme, the team with the most points is automatically promoted to Division 1 as league winners. The second-placed team can obtain promotion by winning a play-off involving a Division 1 club. The team that finishes bottom of the league is relegated to Junior football.

History

The competition was launched in 1978 when Louth GAA introduced the Intermediate football grade, between those of Senior and Junior.[1] The first club to win the competition was Geraldines. A Final to determine the winner was held each until 1995, when the format changed.

Trophy

The captain of the winning team receives the McShane Cup,[2] named after Jimmy McShane, a former county board official and Lann Léire club member.[3]
