The 2024 Ladies' National Football League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Lidl Ladies' National Football League, is a ladies' Gaelic football competition scheduled to take place in spring 2024.
League structure
This page assumes that the same structure is used in 2024 as in the 2023 league.
The 2024 Ladies' National Football League consists of three divisions of eight teams and one (Division 4) with nine teams. In Divisions 1–3, each team plays every other team in its division once, either home or away. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
Division 4 is divided into an "A" and "B" section with four teams in 4A and five teams in 4B. Each team plays each other team in its section once, either home or away. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
Tiebreakers for league ranking
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, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12) if the head-to-head match was an exact 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.
