Format

League structure

The 2017 Ladies' National Football League consists of four divisions: three of eight teams and one of seven (Kilkenny are not competing). Each team plays every other team in its division once. 2 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:

• winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
• if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
• if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored

If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

Finals, promotions and relegations

The top four teams in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League semi-finals (first plays fourth and second plays third).

The top four teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 contest the semi-finals of their respective divisions. The division champions are promoted.

The last-placed teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
