1956 Meath Intermediate Football Championship


The 1956 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 30th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 12 teams. The championship format consists of a group stage before progressing to a knock-out stage.
Fordstown were regraded from the 1955 S.F.C.
At the end of the season Ballinabrackey, Clonard, Curraha and Kilcloon all applied to be regraded to the 1957 J.A.F.C. Dunshaughlin decided not to field a team in either the 1957 S.F.C. or I.F.C. They did enter a team in the Meath J.F.C. Eastern Division in 1957.
On 14 October 1956, Navan O'Mahonys 'B' claimed their 1st Intermediate championship title when they defeated Dunshaughlin 3-6 to 0-5 in the final replay at Trim. They couldn't be promoted to senior level however due to the rule that a club cannot enter two teams in the one grade.
