Overview

The regular season began on 7 March and concluded on 15 November. Each team played the other teams four times, totaling 36 games. Only the champions, Dundalk, were automatically promoted and there was no promotion/relegation play-off between Premier Division and First Division teams. This was because the 2009 Premier Division would be reduced to 10 clubs.[2]

Notes:
  1. ^ Sporting Fingal replaced Kilkenny City who withdrew from the league before the season started.
