The Laois All-County Football League (ACFL) is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by Laois GAA clubs. There are seven divisions and teams are promoted and relegated according to their league standing each year.
Prior to the inception of the All-County Football League, league competitions titled the Senior Football League, Intermediate Football League and Junior Football League were in place. These would have roughly equated to the current top three or four divisions in the ACFL.
The 2023 ACFL Division One winners were Portarlington who defeated St Joseph's in the final.
The trophy for ACFL Division One is called the Rexie McDonald Cup.
