Laois All-County Football League

The Laois All-County Football League (ACFL) is a Gaelic football competition run annually by Laois GAA as a secondary competition to the local championships.

There are five divisions and teams are promoted and relegated according to their league standing each year.

Prior to the inception of the All-County Football League, league competitions titled the Senior Football League, Intermediate Football League and Junior Football League were in place. These would have roughly equated to the current top three divisions in the ACFL.

The 2012 ACFL Division One winners were Portlaoise who defeated Emo in the final.

The trophy for ACFL Division One is called the Rexie McDonald Cup.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or league:

    ... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?
    Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)

    He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
