About Northern Irish Premiership
The Northern Irish Premiership is the top professional football league in Northern Ireland, and it is currently sponsored by Danske Bank. The league was founded in 1890 and has gone through various changes throughout its history, but it currently consists of 12 teams.
The Northern Irish Premiership is organized and governed by the Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL), and it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the other leagues in Northern Ireland.

The league season runs from August to April, and each team plays each other three times, for a total of 33 matches. At the end of the season, the team that finishes with the most points is crowned the Northern Irish Premiership champion. The champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while the teams that finish in second and third place qualify for the UEFA Europa League. The bottom team is relegated to the NIFL Championship.
