Summerhill 'B's' and Drumbaragh Emmets were promoted after claiming the 1975 Meath Junior Football Championship title and runners-up spot respectively.

This was Martinstown/Athboy's first year in existence after Intermediate club Martinstown (established in 1964) and Junior club Athboy joined forces in early 1976. I

On 3 October 1976, Castletown claimed their 3rd Intermediate championship title when they defeated Kilmainhamwood 2-5 to 0-7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann.
