The 2024 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship (known as the Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Football Championship for sponsorship reasons) ^[4] was the latest instalment of the Kerry Intermediate Football Championship. The tournament consisted of Kerry GAA's 16 intermediate club teams. The championship was won for the first time by Austin Stacks which sees them return to the Kerry Senior Club Football Championship for 2025 after an absence of two years. ^[5] They also qualify to represent Kerry in the Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship.

Format

The championship had 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 played 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 advanced to the quarter-finals with each group winner playing the runner-up of another group at home. ^[6]

In a change to the 2023 format there was no relegation to the Junior Premier Championship in 2024. This is due to changes to the Senior Championships which will commence in 2025. ^[7]

Teams

Team changes

• Kerins O'Rahilly's (relegated from the Senior Club Championship) replaced Milltown/Castlemaine who were promoted to the senior championship. ^[8]
• Listowel Emmets (winners of the Junior Premier Championship) were promoted to the intermediate championship and replaced Currow who were relegated. ^[6]
