All County Championship

The Dublin All County Intermediate Football Championship which began in 2018, is a championship consisting of 12 clubs that have teams in the senior championship but also have a side that is at an intermediate level. The winners of this championship do not progress to the senior championship as they already have a team at that level. The championship begins with four groups of three teams in a league format. The top two teams in the leagues progress to the knockout stage and opposition is decided through an open draw. The teams that finish at the bottom of each league must compete in a series of games to prevent relegation to the Dublin Junior Football Championship 1 (all county).
