Morphology

interregional = regional (transparent) = inter + region + al

Formed by the productive prefix 'inter-' (between) added to 'regional', so the meaning 'between regions' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Interregional has two clear parts: the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and region meaning 'area', the same 'inter-' you find in international. So interregional describes something that happens or exists 'between' two or more regions.
