The 2020 All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship was the 23rd contested edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's secondary inter-county Ladies' Gaelic football tournament.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games forced the delay of the tournament until late in the year.[3][4][5]

Meath LGFA were the winners for the first time in their history and were promoted to the All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship in 2021.[6][7][8]
