League structure

The 2022 Ladies' National Football League consists of four divisions of eight teams. Each division is divided into an "A" and "B" section with four teams in each section. Each team plays every other team in its section once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

Tiebreakers for league ranking

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, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12) * if the head-to-head match was an exact 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 two teams in each section in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League semi-finals. The top two teams in each section in divisions 2, 3 and 4 contest the semi-finals of their respective divisions. The division champions are promoted. The last-placed teams in each section in divisions 1, 2 and 3 play a relegation playoff against each other, with the losers relegated.
