The Northern Ireland Intermediate League was an amateur intermediate league based in the north-west region of Northern Ireland. As one of the leagues in the 4th tier of Northern Irish football, the league champions could be promoted to the NIFL Premier Intermediate League, providing they met the admittance requirements.
In 2023 the league announced that it would cease to exist due to a number of clubs deciding to join other regional leagues within the Northern Ireland football league system.
