Background

edit

Current competitions

edit

The League of Ireland was founded as a single-division 'A Championship' in 1921–22. It has comprised a Premier Division and First Division since the 1985–86 season. The winners of the Premier Division are the 'League Champions' and enter the qualification streams of the UEFA Champions League. The League runners-up and third place teams enter the qualification streams of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

The FAI Cup is a knock-out competition contested annually by clubs affiliated with the Football Association of Ireland, including non-League clubs. It was first run in the 1921–22 season. The winners of the FAI Cup are the 'Cup holders' and enter the qualification streams of the UEFA Europa Conference League. In the event of the winner of the FAI Cup also finishing in the top three in the League in the same season, the Europa Conference League qualifying place goes to the team placed fourth in the League.

The Leinster Senior Cup is a knock-out competition contested annually by clubs affiliated with the Leinster Football Association. It was first run in 1892–93 and is the oldest football cup competition in Ireland. It has been reduced in status over the years and was abandoned during the 2000–01 season, and not revived until 2010. It was again abandoned during the 2019–20 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic and revived in 2022–23.

The President of Ireland's Cup is contested as a pre-season super cup between the winners of the previous season's League of Ireland Premier Division and the FAI Cup. It is organised by the FAI and was first run in 2014, replacing a similarly named tournament, the LFA President's Cup.

Discontinued and junior competitions

edit

The League of Ireland Cup was first run in the 1973–74 season to replace the League of Ireland Shield and the Dublin City Cup. It had a number of formats but was mostly a knock-out competition contested annually by League clubs and invited non-League clubs. As there was no European qualification for winners of the League Cup, it had a lower status than the FAI Cup and was therefore seen as the third most important trophy in the playing season. It was cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic,[1] and has not been resumed as of 2024.

The League of Ireland Shield was introduced when the League of Ireland started in 1921 and ran until the 1972–73 season. It was played in a variety of formats and was seen as the third most important trophy after the League and FAI Cup. The winners of the Shield gained entry to the following season's Inter-Cities Fairs Cup until that competition became defunct after 1970–71.

The Dublin City Cup ran from 1934–35 to 1972–73 (with two subsequent attempts to revive the competition). It was contested annually by all League clubs (not just those from Dublin) and had a number of formats. It was seen as the fourth most important trophy in the playing season.

The Top Four Cup was a super cup, which featured the clubs that finished in the four top positions in the League of Ireland, and was played at the end of the season. It ran between 1955–56 and 1973–74. The competition was sponsored by the Irish Independent newspaper, and as a result, was also known as the "Independent Cup".

The Champions Cup (known as the Unite the Union Champions Cup for sponsorship purposes) was a cross-border association football competition played for in 2019 in which the League of Ireland Premier Division champions from the Republic of Ireland faced the NIFL Premiership champions from Northern Ireland. The Champions Cup was the successor to the Setanta Sports Cup.[2]

The Setanta Sports Cup ran from 2005 to 2014. It was a knock-out competition, contested annually by clubs from each of the two jurisdictions in Ireland represented by the FAI and the IFA. It was the sixth cross border tournament following the Inter-City Cup, the North-South Cup (1961–62 to 1962–63), the Blaxnit Cup (1967–68 to 1973–74), the Texaco Cup (1973–74 to 1974–75), and the Tyler Cup (1978–1980). It was sponsored by the subscription television network, Setanta Sports.

The Dublin and Belfast Inter-City Cup ran from 1941–42 to 1948–49. It was a knock-out competition, contested annually by six clubs from each of the two jurisdictions in Ireland represented by the FAI and the Irish Football Association (IFA). It was the first official cross-border football tournament following the North/South split within the IFA in 1921.

The LFA President's Cup was a cup competition featuring League clubs affiliated to the Leinster Football Association. It was played for between 1930 and 2002. It was a de facto national super cup and on 24 occasions featured the League of Ireland champions against the FAI Cup winners. Since 2014, the FAI has organised their own similarly named super cup, the President's Cup.

The P.J. Casey Cup was a single-season competition run in 1962–63 to replace matches lost due to the reduction in teams that season.[3] It ran as a two group, single match round-robin with the top two in each group then playing off in a semi-final and final. The competition was named in memory of P.J. Casey - a long time Honorary Treasurer of the League, and former committee member at Dundalk, who had died in late 1961.[4] Drumcondra defeated Dundalk in the final.

The Leinster Junior Cup is a knock-out competition contested annually by junior clubs affiliated with the Leinster Football Association. It was first run in 1898–99. Dundalk G.N.R. were eligible to compete in the competition until they joined the Leinster Senior League in 1922–23.

The Dundalk and District League is a junior football league for the Dundalk district, which was first formed in 1905–06 then was re-established in 1919–20. The winners of the league are awarded the Macardle Cup, the trophy being originally sponsored by the Macardle Moore Brewery. Dundalk G.N.R. competed in the Dundalk and District League, before being promoted to the Leinster Senior League in 1922–23.
