About Premier Division
History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The League of Ireland Premier Division is the top-flight men's football league in the Republic of Ireland. Founded in 1985, it is administered by the League of Ireland alongside the First Division, the nation’s second-tier league.
Since 2003, the Premier Division has followed a spring-to-autumn schedule, typically running from February to November. It consists of 10 teams playing in a quadruple round-robin format, where each team faces one another four times (twice at home and twice away), totaling 36 matches.
The team with the most points is crowned champion and qualifies for the UEFA Champions League. The league features a promotion and relegation system: the last-placed team is automatically relegated to the First Division, while the second-to-last team enters a relegation playoff.
In this playoff, the second-to-last top-flight team faces the winner of the First Division promotion playoff in a single-leg match, with the victor either securing promotion to or survival in the Premier Division.
Athlone Town won the inaugural season, clinching the 1982-83 title against Drogheda United. Derry City became the first club from Northern Ireland to win the league in the 1988-89 season. Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk are among the most dominant clubs, with Dundalk winning five titles in the 2010s and Shamrock Rovers securing four in a row from 2020 to 2023.
