League structure

Thirty-five teams compete in the 2024 NHL –

  • twelve teams organised in two six-team groups of approximately equal strength in Division 1[2]
  • six teams in Divisions 2A, 2B and 3A
  • five teams in Division 3B.

All thirty-two county teams from Ireland take part. London, Lancashire and Warwickshire complete the lineup.[3][4]

Teams by Province and Division
Province Div 1 Div 2A Div 2B Div 3A Div 3B Total
Connacht 1 0 1 2 1 5

Munster 5 1 0 0 0 6
Ulster 1 1 3 3 1 9
Britain 0 0 1 0 2 3
Total 12 6 6 6 5 35

Each team plays all the other teams in their group or division once, either home or away. Two points are awarded for a win, and one for a draw.

Tie-breaker

  • If only two teams are level on league points, the team that won the head-to-head match is ranked ahead. If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) is used to rank the teams.
  • If three or more teams are level on league points, score difference is used to rank the teams.
