1936–37 National Football League (Ireland)

The 1936–37 National Football League (Ireland) was the inaugural season of the National Football League in Ireland. The competition, organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), marked a significant shift in the structure of Gaelic football in Ireland, moving from a largely provincial championship-based system to a national league format. While details regarding specific match results and final standings for this initial season are relatively scarce in readily available historical records, its establishment is recognised as a pivotal moment in the evolution of the sport. Further research into GAA archives and historical publications may reveal more comprehensive information about individual team performances and the overall competition structure of this foundational season. The league's creation laid the groundwork for the ongoing National Football League competition which continues to be a cornerstone of the Gaelic football calendar.
