This was because the 2009 Premier Division was reduced to 10 clubs. The regular season began on 6 March and concluded on 7 November. Each team played the other teams three times, totaling 33 games. UCD finished as champions and were automatically promoted to the Premier Division. There was no promotion/relegation play-off between the First Division and the A Championship this season. This was only because Kildare County, who finished bottom of the table, withdrew from the League of Ireland before the play-offs could be played.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/ier09.html Ireland 2009 27 July 2016 RSSSF http://www.balls.ie/football/happens-teams-enter-league-ireland-first-division/205914 What Happens (To) Teams That Enter The League Of Ireland First Division? www.balls.ie 26 March 2016 20 February 2015 Final table main WDL QR 5 y UCD UCD SHE Shelbourne SFI Sporting Fingal WAT Waterford United MON Monaghan United WEX Wexford Youths LIM Limerick F.C.
