Notes

  1. ↑ Sporting Fingal replaced Kilkenny City who withdrew from the league before the season started.
  2. ↑ Kildare County were initially relegated to the A Championship after losing a promotion/relegation play-off. However they subsequently gained a reprieve after Cobh Ramblers were refused a First Division license and were relegated directly from the Premier Division to the A Championship .
