 Thanks to Julian Canny, Malcolm Hodgson, Allard Doesburg and Romeo Ionescu for the information on which the table is based and Donald Crowther of the FA of Ireland for information on the whereabouts of some clubs. Special thanks to Julian Canny for fruitful discussions and additional information and of course for clearing up my confusion on all the various Cork teams. Still additional information from (english) Wikipedia. 1921/22-37 Irish freestate, 1937/38 - the present Republic of Ireland. Please note that each team, when namechanges have occured, are written with the name they used last. See the notes on namechanges for clarifications.

I have however counted three points for a win, one for a draw and NOTES ON NAMECHANGES:
* Fordsons joined the league in 1925, changed their name to Cork in 1930, to Cork City in 1938 and
finally to Cork United 1939 which left the league in 1948.
* Cork Bohemians joined in 1932 and left in 1934.
* Cork Athletic joined in 1948 and left in 1957.
* Evergreen United joined the league in 1951 and changed their name to Cork Celtic in 1959 which left
the league in 1979.
* Cork Hibernians existed 1957/58 - 1975/76 and folded in 1976.
* Albert Rovers joined the league in 1976 and changed their name to Cork Albert and then to Cork Alberts
in 1977. Two years later the club changed name to Cork United and finally folded in 1982.
* The present day Cork City came into existence in 1984.
* Drogheda have also played under the name Drogheda United.
* Galway United have also played under the name Galway Rovers.
* Waterford was renamed Waterford United in 1982.
* Drumcondra merged into with Home Farm in 1972 as Home Farm, later called Home Farm Everton and
Home Farm Fingal. From the 2001/02 season: Dublin City. All results written on Dublin City.
* Limerick existed from 1937-1979, then they changed to Limerick United. In 1983 the club was
rearranged as Limerick City, in 1992 name change to Limerick FC.
* Where Olympia came from is unknown, it was probably Dublin.
* Longford changed name to Longford Town in the 1990:s.
When the 2001/02-season started St. Patrick's Athletic and St. Francis had officially joined forces
into St. Patricks's Athletic incorporating St. Francis. However, this amalgamation collapsed during
the season so the results by that team are counted on St. Patrick's Athletics.
