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; (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; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.Top goal-scorers this season
