League structure

The 2017 Ladies' National Football League consists of four divisions of eight teams. Each team plays every other team in its division once. 2 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:

  • winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
  • if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
  • if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored

    • If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

    Finals, promotions and relegations

    The top four teams in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League semi-finals (first plays fourth and second plays third).

    The top four teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 contest the semi-finals of their respective divisions. The division champions are promoted.

    The last-placed teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
