The Leitrim Intermediate Football Championship is an annual football competition contested by mid-tier Leitrim GAA clubs. The Leitrim County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1928.

Melvin Gaels are the title holders, who produced a miraculous comeback to overcome an eight point deficit in injury time to triumph over Allen Gaels (3-08) to (2-10) in the final held in Páirc Sheán Ui Heislin.[1]

Qualification for subsequent competitions
