Rules for classification:
1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored
1 The Board of Management of the FAI terminated Derry City Football Club’s contract to participate in the League of Ireland on 7 November 2009. The decision came after Derry admitted to holding second unofficial contracts with players to the FAI. Despite the termination, a meeting over the future of the club regarding the participation in the League of Ireland on a different level than the Premier Division will be held during the week of 9 November 2009.[1]
The club was subsequently dissolved and a new club, also called Derry City took its place in 2010's First Division.
2 Following the demotion of Cork City F.C. on 22nd February 2010, Dundalk F.C. are set to take their place in the 2010-11 Europa League First qualifying round.[2] Bray Wanderers also retained their places within the top tier despite originally slated for relegation.
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (E) = Eliminated; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (RQ) = Qualified to the relegation tournament indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.
