UL Bohs set for Women’s AIL Top Four round-robin in January

Details have been confirmed for the remaining fixtures in the Women’s Division of the All-Ireland League.

With league element concluding on December 11th Railway Union, UL Bohemian, Blackrock College and Old Belvedere qualified for the All-Ireland League Women’s Division Top Four. Those teams will now compete in a round-robin format to determine which teams will contest the AIL final.

Teams that finished 5th to 10th in the regular season (Galwegians, Suttonians, Cooke, Malone, Ballincollig and Wicklow) now play a separate round-robin for the All-Ireland League Women’s Division Conference trophy.

With the Six Nations not kicking off until a month later, it is intended that international players will be available to represent their clubs throughout January and February up to and including the All-Ireland League final.

Promotion/Relegation for the newly expanded league is not due to come into effect until the 2023/24 season. The IRFU is working with provinces to facilitate competitive games between the provincial qualifying leagues champions at the end of the season.
