The 2019 Monaghan Intermediate Football Championship will be the nth edition of Monaghan GAA's primary gaelic football tournament for intermediate clubs in County Monaghan, Ireland. Ten teams compete, with the winners representing Monaghan in the AIB GAA Ulster Club Intermediate Football Championship. The championship uses a double-elimination format for Rounds 1 and 2 before becoming knock-out.

Doohamlet are the defending champions after defeating Sean McDermott's in the 2018 final. The 2019 competition sees the return of Cremartin and Emyvale to the Intermediate ranks following their promotion from the Junior competition, and also Magheracloone and Monaghan Harps, following their relegation from the Senior ranks.

Team Changes

The two bottom-placed teams in the Monaghan Senior Football League are relegated to the Intermediate ranks for the following season, with the Intermediate Football Championship winners and Intermediate Football League winners promoted in their place. If a team wins both the Intermediate Championship and League, then the next highest placed team in the League will be promoted.
