The 2019 National Football League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Allianz National Football League, is the 88th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual gaelic football tournament for Gaelic Athletic Association county teams. Thirty-one county teams from the island of Ireland, plus London, compete. Kilkenny do not participate.

Eir Sport and TG4 provide live TV coverage of the league on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons respectively. The highlights programmes are RTÉ2's League Sunday on Sunday evenings and TG4's GAA 2019 on Monday evenings.[1]

New Experimental Rules

On 24 November 2018 the GAA Central Council approved five football rule changes which would be trialled on an experimental basis in the 2018–19 early season competitions organised by the provincial councils and the 2019 National Football League.[2] The experimental rules finally trialled were –

  • The maximum number of consecutive hand passes allowed is three.
  • A sideline free must be kicked forward except when it is inside the opposition's 20 metre line.
  • Ten minutes in a sin bin without replacement is imposed on a player who commits a black card offence or two yellow card offences. The offending player can re-enter the game or be substituted after the ten minutes have elapsed.
  • An advance or attacking mark may be taken where the ball is kicked in the area outside the opposition's 45 metre line, travels more than 20 metres without touching the ground, and is caught cleanly in the area inside the opposition's 45 metre line. Up to fifteen seconds are allowed for the free resulting from a mark to be taken.
  • Kickouts must be taken from the 20 metre line but are not required to travel beyond the 45 metre line.

GAA rules only allow changes to the playing rules in years divisible by five, meaning that the experimental rules could be approved by Congress 2020 for implementation in the 2020 Championship at the earliest.[3]

Competition format

League structure

The 2019 National Football League consists of four divisions of eight teams. Each team plays every other team in its division once, usually four home and three away or three home and four away. Two points are awarded for a win and one point for a draw.

Teams by Province and Division
Province Division 1 Division 2 Division 3 Division 4 Total
Connacht 3 0 1 1 5
Leinster 1 2 6 2 11
Munster 1 3 0 2 6
Ulster 3 3 1 2 9
Britain 0 0 0 1 1
Total 8 8 8 8 32

Tie-breaker

If only two teams are level on league points -

  • The team that won the head-to-head match is ranked first
  • If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) is used to rank the teams
  • If score difference is identical, total scored is used to rank the teams
  • If still identical, a play-off is required

If three or more teams are level on league points, score difference is used to rank the teams.

The top two teams in Division 1 contest the National Football League final. The bottom two teams are relegated to Division 2.
