Due to the extremely harsh winter, so many games had to be called off that the NFL was played off as a four-team tournament with Derry, Longford, Wicklow and Clare competing. Derry won their first league title. Although they had traditionally worn red, they wore white jerseys with a red band in the final, and have kept those colours since.
