The 1927β28 National Football League was the 2nd staging of the National Football League, a Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland, held in 1927 and 1928.
The League was won by Kerry. [1] [2] [3]
There were three divisions β Northern, Southern, and Western. Division winners played off for the NFL title.
The league was not decided by a one-match final. The three division winners played each other in a series of Inter-Divisional tests. [4] As Kerry and Kildare both defeated Mayo, it meant that the Kerry v Kildare tie was a 'de facto' final.
