In its soon-to-be introduced format, the 10 participating teams will be drawn into two groups of five teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The top three teams in each group will proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg in October.^[2] The winner of the Clare Premier Intermediate Championship will qualify for the subsequent Munster Club Championship.

The 10 teams are divided into two groups of five.^[3] Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least four games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top three teams in each group qualify for the knockout stage, with the two group winners receiving byes to the semi-finals.
