While the NFL itself doesn't have a formal "NFL Ireland" designation for a full season, the term encompasses the increased visibility and engagement of the NFL in Ireland during that year.

- Increased Media Coverage: Broadcasting of NFL games on Irish television and radio likely increased in 2009, potentially through dedicated NFL channels or increased coverage on general sports networks.
- Fan Engagement Activities: The NFL may have organized or partnered with organizations to host fan events, such as viewing parties, meet-and-greets, or promotional activities throughout Ireland.
- American Football Growth Initiatives: There may have been efforts to promote the sport of American football in Ireland at grassroots levels, possibly through youth leagues or coaching initiatives.
- Potential Preseason or Regular Season Game Discussion: Although highly unlikely to have hosted a game in 2009, there may have been discussions or preliminary planning related to the possibility of holding a future NFL game in Ireland. This is relevant because the NFL has since hosted regular-season games in London.
