Tiebreakers for league ranking[edit]
If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:
- winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
- if the head-to-head match was a draw, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12)
- if the head-to-head match was an exact draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
- if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored
If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.
Finals, promotion and relegation[edit]
The top two teams in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League final.
The top two teams in each of Divisions 2 and 3 are promoted and contest the respective division finals.
The bottom two teams in each of divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
The top four teams in Division 4 contest the division semi-finals and final; the two division finalists are promoted.
