The 2016 National Football League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Allianz National Football League, was the 85th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams. Thirty-one Gaelic football county teams from the island of Ireland, plus London, competed. Kilkenny did not participate.

Setanta and TG4 provided live coverage of the league on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, respectively. RTÉ Two broadcast a highlights programme, League Sunday, on Sunday evenings.

Dublin won their 12th title in total and their 4th in a row, defeating Kerry in the final on a score of 2–18 to 0–13.[1][2]

Format[edit]

League structure[edit]

The 2016 National Football League consisted of four divisions of eight teams. Each team played every other team in its division once, usually four home and three away or three home and four away. Two points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

Tie-breaker[edit]

If only two teams were level on league points:

  • The team that won the head-to-head match was ranked first
  • If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) was used to rank the teams
  • If score difference was identical, total scored was used to rank the teams
  • If still identical, a play-off was required

If three or more teams were level on points, score difference was used to rank the teams.

Finals, promotions and relegations[edit]

Division 1

The top four teams in Division 1 contest the National Football League semi-finals (first plays fourth and second plays third) with the winners progressing to the final. The bottom 2 teams are relegated to Division 2.

Division 2, Division 3 & Division 4

The top two teams in Divisions 2, 3 and 4 are promoted and contest the finals of their respective divisions. The bottom two teams in Divisions 2 and 3 are relegated.
