The 1969–70 National Football League was the 39th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland.

Contents

Mayo beat Down in the final.

Round-Robin Format

  • Division Two (B) and Division Three (A): Played as a double round-robin.
  • All other groups: Single Round-Robin. Each team played every other team in its division (or group where the division is split) once, either home or away.

    • Titles

    Teams in all four divisions competed for the National Football League title.

    Teams that did not qualify for the inter-divisional play-offs completed for the Supplementary League Title. There was a severe lack of interest in this league, with considerable delays in organising fixtures in the Southern section. When the final was eventually played, fewer than 100 people attended.

    Supplementary League

    A: Longford, B: Kilkenny, Waterford, Carlow
