The 1965–66 National Football League was the 34th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland.
Longford won their first and (so far) only NFL title with wins over Galway in the "home" final and New York in the two-legged "World Championship." After the first leg, an angry crowd chased the New York team off the field due to their (perceived) rough play. Longford had the second leg at Pearse Park and won easily.[1][2][3][4][5]
