Creation
editCounty committee delegates approved major changes to the championship format in February 2024. Five different format proposals were put before delegates with one winning unanimous favour and no support for the remaining four. The new format saw two groups of six teams in the Meath SHC, with a seeded draw. The top three team in each group play in the SHC knockout stage and the bottom three teams in each group advanced to the newly created Meath SBHC. The losing SBHC quarter-finalists play in the relegation playoff.[3][4]
