About

Republic of Ireland Men’s Club Soccer is divided into three levels – Senior, Intermediate and Junior. The FAI League of Ireland constitutes the Senior Level with 1 Division in the 1980s.

The Provincial Leagues lie below this, as Intermediate Levels – with the Leinster Senior Football League being the Provincial League for the East of Ireland.

The LSFL Division 1 was Tier 1 of the LSFL and Tier 2 in the Republic of Ireland.
