The 2025 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship (known as the Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Football Championship for sponsorship reasons) 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 a fourth time by An Ghaeltacht who subsequently represented Kerry in the 2025 Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship and will compete in the Kerry Senior Club Football Championship for 2026.[3]
Format
The 16 clubs were drawn into four groups of 4 teams each.[4] Each team is to 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 playing the runner-up of another group at home.
The winners of the championship will be promoted to the 2026 Kerry Club Football Championship and will represent Kerry in the 2025 Munster Intermediate Club Football Championship. There will be no relegation to the Junior Premier Championship in 2025. This is to facilitate an increase in the number of teams competing in the Senior Club Championship in 2026.[5]
Teams
Austin Stacks were promoted to the Kerry Club Football Championship for 2025 and were replaced by Firies who won the 2024 Junior Premier Championship.
