League of Ireland Premier Division Betting

The top tier of Irish football is the Premier Division, a league that was formed in 1985 when the football tiers were reorganised. Along with claiming the domestic honour of being crowned champions, there are further prizes that teams can target in the league.

Irish Premier Division betting features just ten teams, and the top three positions offer entry for Irish clubs into the UEFA Champions League and the Europa Conference League. It’s a fantastically entertaining division, with Shamrock Rovers having taken over as the dominant force in recent years and we have all the betting angles for it covered.

Promotion and Relegation Betting

An Irish Premier League Division season is completed in the same calendar year, typically starting in February and concluding in November. One of the biggest markets for Premier Division betting is the outright winner. Which team will be crowned champions at the end of the season?

The league winner heads into UEFA Champions League odds at the first qualifying round stage. The second and third-place finishers in the division go to the Conference League's first qualifying round. So that is a great picture to focus on for football betting with the Top Three Finish market.

At the other end of the table, the threat of automatic relegation is there and just as in English Premier League odds, the relegation picture in Premier Division online betting pulls in a lot of appeal. The team that finishes bottom goes down to the League of Ireland First Division.

The broader interest in relegation betting is that the team finishing second from bottom goes into the League of Ireland Premier Division play-off final, against the team that finishes runner-up in the second tier. The winner of that takes the spot in the top flight the following season.
