The 2024 Louth Intermediate Football Championship was the 55th edition of the premier Gaelic football tournament for Intermediate graded clubs in County Louth, Ireland, organized by Louth GAA. The tournament consisted of 12 teams, with the winner going on to represent the county in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship. The championship began with a group stage and progressed to a knockout stage after the elimination of the four teams that finished bottom of their group. The draw for the tournament took place at Louth GAA headquarters in Darver on 29 February 2024.[3]

Dundalk Gaels emerged as champions for a record fifth time and will play in the 2025 Louth Senior Football Championship.
