The tournament consists of 19 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
This was Wolfe Tone's debut in the Intermediate grade after relegation from the S.F.C. the previous year. The club were formed in 1975 when St. John's and Gibbstown joined forces. St. John's had previously won the I.F.C. title in 1974 so Wolfe Tones were put straight into the S.F.C.
