Notes

  1. Cork City were expelled from Premier Division after its holding company was wound up by the High Court.
  2. Derry City were expelled from Premier Division after accusations of making extra payments to players using unofficial secondary contracts.
  3. Despite losing play-off, Bray Wanderers retained their place in the Premier Division after Cork City and Derry City were relegated.
