The tournament consists of 15 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage. This season saw Summerhill's return to the top flight after claiming the 1972 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title, their 3rd period as a senior club and 3rd season altogether. Seneschalstown, the defending champions who had secured victory over Navan O'Mahonys in the previous year's final after a replay, relinquished their title this season at the semi-final stage. They were defeated by Ballivor, who went on to become the eventual runners-up. Ballinlough were relegated to the 1974 I.F.C. after losing the Relegation Final to Syddan. On 7 October 1973, Navan O'Mahonys won their 8th Meath S.F.C. title when they defeated Ballivor 1-9 to 1-7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann. Ronan Giles raised the Keegan Cup for the Hoops.
