In its current format, the Donegal Intermediate Championship features the four teams who don't qualify for the second stage of the Donegal SHC. These four teams play each other in a round-robin system. The top two teams in the group proceed to the intermediate final at O'Donnell Park in Letterkenny. The winner of the Donegal Intermediate Hurling Championship qualifies for the subsequent Ulster Intermediate Club Championship.

Carndonagh are the title holders after defeating Seán MacCumhaills by 2–12 to 2–08 in the 2023 final. [1]

Format

Group stage

Over the course of the group stage, each of the four teams plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least three games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The two top-ranking teams in the group qualify for the final.

Final

The two top-ranking teams in the group qualify for the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Qualification for subsequent competitions

The Donegal Intermediate Championship winners qualify for the subsequent Ulster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.
