Does anyone know what the case would be regarding the transfer of Euro qualification slots if the league winners (who would qualify for the Champions League as a result) were also to win the cup? Would the UEFA Cup spot up for grabs in the cup be transferred to the loser or would it somehow be transferred to a team next in line in the league standings? Logic tells me the former, but you never know with the FAI.-- Danny Invincible 16:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
It's the former. Take 2006, for example: Derry City took the Champions League place (even though they finished 2nd; because Shelbourne didn't apply for a UEFA Licence), and Derry City also won the FAI Cup. The Cup UEFA Cup spot was taken by the runners-up, St. Patrick's Athletic. The 2nd UEFA Cup spot went to Drogheda United (who finished (3rd) just behind Derry in the league).

Where this says no teams from the republic play in the north is wrong donegal celtic play in northern irish league and are from donegal in the republic of ireland
Yeah the club is named after a road in Belfast, which is itself named after the county Lord Cornwallis ( talk) 17:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
The names of streets , roads and housing estates in that area mainly take thier names from places in Donegal , when the team was founded they continued the conection . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.77.125.63 ( talk) 14:52, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
I think the article should mention the prospect of an All-Ireland League, which has been prominent in media reports the last year. Lord Cornwallis ( talk) 17:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm completely rewriting this article because it's full of nonsense and legal speak. Nearly all of the article was about the merger with the FAI before I changed the title to its correct name and started editing it, as this article was previously titled the "FAI League of Ireland", implying that the league was a new one and the material mirrored this. Anyway, here's a load of excessive detail about the merger which I removed, if anybody wants to use it. Onetonycousins ( talk) 21:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Fire away it really needs tidying. I still think that the title should be "FAI League of Ireland" though. That doesn't necessarily imply that it is a seperate entity to the pre FAI days as the previous (Football LOI/FAI LOI) system did. Fionnsci ( talk) 01:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia naming conventions state that the common name should be used. In this case, both the common name and the official name (see first reference) are the "League of Ireland" and this also allows for consistency across all the related articles. Anyway, with a little luck, the FAI will have nothing to do with the league when this merger finishes up in a few years and they can get back to making a balls of the national team. Onetonycousins ( talk) 13:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the Ulster Banner being used in this article as the league has no teams that represent NI in the league. As can be seen here UEFA use the Irish Tricolor to represent this team. Mo ainm ~Talk 12:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Both the new Derry City and Cork City FORAS Co-op are new clubs founded in 2010. This is FAI established fact. http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/electric-launch-to-new-season-2082480.html
Also the current Limerick FC is a continuity of Limerick 37 who were only founded in 2007.
Just because a club buys a name belonging to an old club does not mean it can take any honours involved with the old club. if either Cork Foras or new Derry City were to have won the 2010 FAI Cup, they would not have been allowed to use any co-efficient built up in Europe by the old club by UEFA BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT CLUBS. This is also why the new Derry club could not play in the 2010-2011 Setanta Sports Cup, because it was a different club to the old Derry City. It is very important that Wikipedia gets these facts right. 192.198.151.36 ( talk) 00:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Had to change these facts again. Sadly there is constant vandalism to this correct information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.198.151.37 ( talk) 04:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

The manual of style for Ireland-related topics states that, where confusion may arise, Republic of Ireland should be used rather than Ireland. Given that the League of Ireland is the national league of the Republic of Ireland (not the whole island), the intro should therefore used Republic of Ireland. Confusion could arise because, in sport, Ireland is usually treated as a single unit. Football is an exception. Also, in football terms, "Republic of Ireland" is the UEFA- and FIFA-recognised name for the 26 counties. Mooretwin ( talk) 21:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
The points by Mooretwin are contradicting " The "National" can relate equally to the whole of Ireland as it does to the Republic" , no as the whole of the island contains two nations in footballing terms , it is therefore clear that national means national not all-Ireland or all island . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.77.125.63 ( talk) 14:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Because this league contains Derry City which is located in Northern Ireland shouldn't it say Countries Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the same way Premier League says England and Wales as it contains Swansea City. C. 22468 Talk to me 13:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

This also applies to the LoI competitions, but we should honestly get the new logo in for the League of Ireland by now. Maybe put the old LoI logo in the History section for reference? IntMaMis ( talk) 19:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
