The 2025 Meath Intermediate Football Championship was the 99th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for Intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams and started with a group stage before progressing to a knock out stage. The winner will represent Meath in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.

Meath Hill were the 2024 Meath Intermediate Football Champions after they defeated Navan O'Mahonys 0-16 to 0-14 in the final. As a result, for the first time in Meath Hills history they will play in the Meath Senior Football Championship in 2025.[1]

Curraha were relegated from the Senior Football Championship in 2024, ending their seven year long spell within the Senior Championship.[2] Dunsany were promoted to the I.F.C. after beating St. Vincents in the 2024 Meath Junior Football Championship.[3] Nobber were relegated to the 2025 Meath Junior Football Championship.[4]

The draw for the group stages of the championship took place on 22 January 2025[5], with the games commencing on 1 August 2025.

After been relegated from the Meath Senior Football Championship the previous year, Curraha were relegated to the Meath Junior Football Championship after losing to Navan O'Mahonys in the relegation playoff final[6].

On 11 October 2025, Kilbride won the Meath Intermediate Football Championship for the 2nd time after defeating Castletown 0-20 to 1-16 in the final. It will be the first time since 1978 that Kilbride will be in the Meath Senior Football Championship.[7]
