In its current format, the Westmeath Intermediate Hurling Championship begins with a group stage.

The four top-ranking teams proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at TEG Cusack Park.

The first championship following the restructuring featured the five teams who didn't make 2019 final, as well as the 2019 Westmeath JAHC winners who gained automatic promotion.

The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record.

It was commissioned to honour Adrian Murray, a member of the Crookedwood club who served in a number of administrative roles with the Westmeath County Board.
