It has consistently provided a platform for grassroots football, fostering local talent and promoting community engagement through sport. The AUL plays a vital role in the amateur football landscape of Dublin, contributing significantly to the overall health and vitality of the sport in the region.

The league is governed by a committee comprised of representatives from member clubs.
