Ladies National Football League - Overview

Ladies National Football League players at Croke Park for the launch of the new seasonThe eagerly awaited 2010 Bord Gáis Energy Ladies National Football League will be launched on Tuesday, 2nd February at Croke Park.

This is the second year of our sponsorship of the Ladies NFL and, after an exciting opening year to our partnership with the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, the upcoming season promises to bring more of the same.

The Bord Gáis Energy Ladies NFL has been re-formatted for the 2010 season and will see four divisions of eight teams battle it out in the season curtain raiser. The teams that finish in the top four places in each division will go through to semi finals and the winners will then go through to the league finals.

As part of Bord Gáis Energy's involvement with the Ladies Football Leagues, a brand new awards initiative was unveiled last year. The inaugural Bord Gáis Energy Teams of the League ceremony saw 45 players from 22 different counties selected as the best performers from Divisions 1, 2 and 3 during the league season and each player was presented with a specially commissioned kit to mark their terrific achievement.

Ladies Football and Bord Gáis Energy have set up the scheme to recognise the special achievements of the inter-county Bainisteoir and an overall Manager of the League award will be presented at the end of the league campaign.

The first round of Bord Gáis Energy Ladies NFL fixtures kicks off on Sunday, 7th of February and the finals will be played out on the weekend of 8/9th May.
