The 2024-25 All-Ireland League, known as the Energia All-Ireland League for sponsorship reasons, [1] [2] is the 33rd season of Irish Rugby's top level domestic competition. The League began on 20 September 2024 and will finish with the League final at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin on 27 April 2025. [3]

Contents

Cork Constitution are the defending champions having won their 7th title by defeating defending champions Terenure College in the 2023-24 League Final. [4]

Ballyclare are competing in the League for the first time ever after gaining promotion to Division 2C by winning the Provincial League Championship final. [5] Monkstown who lost that final, later gained promotion back to the League after a 21-year absence by winning the Provincial League Championship play-off against Bangor. [6]

Format

The League consists of 5 divisions of 10 teams each playing a double round-robin competition using the standard Rugby union bonus points system. At the completion of the league phase the top 4 teams in Division 1A will qualify for the play-off semi-finals, with the two winners meeting in the final.

The 10th placed teams in Divisions 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B will be relegated to Divisions 1B, 2A, 2B and 2C respectively while the winners of Divisions 1B, 2A, 2B and 2C will be promoted up one division. The 9th placed team in Division 1A along with the 2nd to 4th placed teams in Division 1B will enter a play-off competition with the winner to play in Division 1A for 2025–26. This same play-off competition applies to the other divisions also.

The 10th placed team in Division 2C will be relegated from the A.I.L. to their respective Provincial qualifying league and will be replaced by the winner of the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship. The 9th placed team in Division 2C will play the runner-up of the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship with the winner to play in Division 2C for 2025–26. [7]

All-Ireland Provincial League Championship

The All-Ireland Provincial League Championship will be contested by the winners of the four provincial qualifying leagues in Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. They will be drawn to play in two semi-finals at neutral venues with the winners meeting in the final, also at a neutral venue with the winner playing in Division 2C of the A.I.L. for 2025–26. The runner-up will play away against the 9th place team in Division 2C and the winner of this play-off will also play in Division 2C of the A.I.L. for 2025–26.

Division 1A

Cork Constitution started their 33rd consecutive season in the top division of the All-Ireland League (the only club to be ever present in the top division of the league since its inception in 1990) as defending champions, [9] but by the mid-season break were in mid-table outside the play-off places. Garryowen made a quick return to Division 1A after being relegated in 2022–23, [10] but with just one win in nine games were bottom at Christmas in danger of returning back to 1B. St Mary's College returned to the top flight as Division 1B champions after a six-year absence [11] and took over top spot by the mid-season interval from Ballynahinch who dropped to fourth after back-to-back defeats in December. Clontarf and Terenure completed the top four at Christmas. [12]

Division 1B

After two seasons in Division 1A Shannon returned to Division 1B along with Dublin University who were automatically relegated [13] [14] and both sides found themselves in the bottom half of the table by Christmas with Shannon just 2 points ahead of bottom side Highfield. At the other end of the table Old Belvedere (1st) and Nenagh Ormond (2nd), playing at this level for the first time in their history, having come up from Division 2A as champions, [15] were well clear of the chasing pack at the mid-season break.

Division 2A

Buccaneers returned to Division 2A after two seasons in 1B [14] and by the mid-season break looked set to be relegated again having lost all 9 of their matches. Instonians play in Division 2A following two successive promotions as champions after their return to the A.I.L. in 2022 [17] and at the halfway point in the season were on course for another repeat as they were clear leaders at the top from second placed Galway Corinthians [18] who, at the third attempt had eventually gained promotion to Division 2A via the play-offs.
