Format change
editAt the February county board meeting, former football board chairperson Conor O'Dwyer confirmed that Drom & Inch would not be fielding a team in the 2024 Tipperary senior football championship.[6] Following a proposal from Ardfinnan, which was passed by 32 votes to 16, it was confirmed that there would be no relegation from this year's senior football championship, and that Drom & Inch would compete in the Tipperary Intermediate Football Championship in 2025.[7] The group stage would comprise of one group of four teams, one group of three and one group of six, with the top two teams in each group progressing to the quarter-finals, along with the 3rd and 4th placed teams in the group of six. All other teams entered the Tom Cusack Cup.
Group stage
editThe draw for the group stage took place on 18 April 2024.[8]
