List of National Football League (Ireland) finals
This page is a list of final matches for the National Football League, an annual Gaelic football tournament played by the GAA county teams of Ireland, and some teams from outside Ireland.
Below is a list of all NFL finals. The letters AI indicate the county went on to win the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship that year. In the past NFL has been a poor predictor of summer form: only 26.6% of League winners have gone on to become All-Ireland champions. However, since the re–formatting of the competition in 2002, the winner of the national league has more regularly gone on to win the All–Ireland on nine out of sixteen occasions: Tyrone in 2003, Kerry in 2004, 2006 and 2009, Cork in 2010 and Dublin in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2018.- 1925–26 – Laois 2–1 Dublin 1–0
