Louth Intermediate Football League

The Louth Intermediate Football League is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by Louth GAA for Division 2 teams in County Louth.

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. 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, named after Jimmy McShane, a former county board official and Lann Léire club member.
