The league format consists of 12 teams divided into two groups of six in which each team plays each other once. The top team in each group qualifies for the league final. The second-placed team in each group qualifies to compete for a subsidiary title in the shield final.

The top two teams in each group qualify for the quarter-final stage of the subsequent Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling Championship while the remaining eight teams compete in the first round.

Lisdowney are the current title holders following their win over Young Irelands in the 2024 final.[1] It was their first intermediate league title.

Danesfort defeated Tullogher-Rosbercon in the 2024 shield final.[2]
