2010 National Football League (Ireland)
# 2010 National Football League (Ireland)

The 2010 National Football League known for sponsorship reasons as the Allianz National Football League was the 79th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland. The League began on Saturday 6 February 2010. Thirty-two Gaelic football county teams from Ireland, plus London, participated. On 25 April, Cork defeated Mayo by 1–17 to 0–12 to win their sixth league title and their third in a row.

## Format

### League structure

The 2010 format of the National Football League was a system of four divisions. The top three divisions consisted of 8 teams, and Division 4 contained nine teams. Each team played every other team in its division once, either home or away. 2 points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

### Tie-breaker

If only two teams were level on points:

* The team that won the head-to-head match was ranked first
* If this game was a draw, points difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) was used to rank the teams
* If points 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, points difference was used to rank the teams.

### Finals, promotions and relegations

The top two teams in Division 1 contested the 2010 NFL final. The top two teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 were promoted, and contested the finals of their respective divisions. The bottom two teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 were relegated.
