Irish Junior Football League System

Here is a list I compiled a year ago about the junior leagues:

Sound. One thing though, what's the Combined Counties League?

Super League (10Teams)
Premier Division (10Teams)
First Division (10Teams)
Second Division split between 2A(9teams) and 2B(8teams)

Just to note that when you wrote 'In theory it is should be possible for a lowly local amateur club to rise to the pinnacle of the Irish game and become champions of the Irish Premier League.', you should have put League of Ireland Premier Division, because as it stands it gives a link to the IFA's league.

Tipperary:

North Tipperary & District League:
Premier Division-10 teams
Division 1-10 teams
Division 2-15 teams
*had a third division up until last year

Division one-9 teams
Division two-8 teams
Division 3-8 teams

Cheers Big Ears and Couch Potato, info noted. Will add it in soon.

EDIT: Incorrect link to the IFA Premiership is corrected now, thanks.

As the Connacht section of the "pyramid" is fairly straightforward, I'm completing that first.

If anyone has any info on the old Connacht Senior League I would be grateful, i.e. if there was a second division to it. I seem to remember there being one, but I can't be sure.

Please note that the leagues are not like the GAA where strict geographic boundaries apply. For example, a large portion of teams in the Roscommon and District leagues are from north and east Galway and who choose to play there due to it's proximity. (Although, this is hardly true in the case of Moylough, for example).

ditto for limerick...we have teams from clare(shannon to be precise),and also north cork in the shape of charleville.also for that reason of proximity.
in limerick there are eight divisions of junior fooball.
no interest whatsoever though of any of the "big" clubs going munster senior league,even though most of them would be more then capable of competing.
too much travel and expense involved!!!!!
some of the clubs,who have qualified to enter the munster senior cup don't even bother entering.just see it as a distraction from their main goals of league,mun.junior cup and FAI cup.

Cork AUL:
Premier 10 teams. 2 go down
Premier A 10 teams. 2 up 3 down
Division 1,1a,1b 10 teams. 1 from each up 2 down
Division 2,2a,2b 10 teams. 2 from each up 2 down
Division 3,3a 11/12 teams. 2 from each up

Divisions 1.1a.1b.2.2a.2b.3 and 3a are all goegraphically coordinatted. north cork teams / east cork and so on

a few clubs have "b" and "c" teams but not many.
Standard is high in the premier with most teams i think able to gve 1st division senior a good crack.
basicly if i start a team it will take me 4 years to get to the premier.

also there is no promotion to the Munster senior league that is a totally different affiliation. if you win the aul premier you are invited into the Muster Senior Cup as are all the champs from the district leagues in munster.

Senior section
Premier 10 teams 2 down
1st division 10 teams 2 up 2 down
2nd division 9 teams 2 up

Junior section
Premier 12 teams 2 down
1st division 14 teams 2 up

there is no promotion from Junior to Senior

Over 35 league 12 teams

All teams come from Cork!! From what i hear its the cost of travelling thats the problem. teams like Carrick Utd{waterford} St Micheals{Tipperary} Tralee Dynomos Killarney Celtic {kerry} Fairview, Pike Rvs{limerick} would all hold ther own up there no worries.

Facilities are excellent all clubs have good pitchs and clubhouses. pitchs are fenced off too. theses are all mandorty for joining

[casilles]

Premier 9 teams
!st Division 9 teams

Standard is not great maybe Aul 1/2 division. Most clubs are as in the league name drom companies as in Novartis,Ucc,County Council and Cork airport to name but a few. Teams tend to rent pitchs off either aul or msl teams
