International
This word was apparently coined by Jeremy Bentham from inter- + national in 1780.
inter- is a prefix occurring in loanwords from Latin, where it meant “between,” “among,” “in the midst of,” “mutually,” “reciprocally,” “together,” “during” (intercept; interest); on this model, used in the formation of compound words (international)
'intra'- is a prefix meaning “within,” used in the formation of compound words: intramural.
Most of the time you can distinguish which to use 'inter' or 'intra' simply by remembering the meaning of the word. :-)

Intranational as you have spelt it, is correct, and means roughly 'within a nation'. There is another similar word 'International' which means 'between different nations'. Please use the appropriate spelling for the context you want to use the word.
