# 2020 Ladies' National Football League

The 2020 Ladies' National Football League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Lidl Ladies' National Football League, was a ladies' Gaelic football competition taking place in early 2020.
The league was originally scheduled to end in April 2020, but public health measures introduced to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland caused the competition to be cancelled in March 2020, and the leagues declared null and void.

## Format
### League structure

The 2020 Ladies' National Football League consists of three divisions of eight teams and one of seven. Each team plays every other team in its division once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
Teams by Province :
| Province | Division 1 | Division 2 | Division 3 | Division 4 |
| Connacht | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| Leinster | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| Munster | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
| Ulster | 1 | 4 | 2 | 2 |
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, promotions and relegations

The top two teams in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League final.
The top two teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 contest the finals of their respective divisions. The division champions are promoted.
The last-placed teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
