IAFL-2 was an American football league in Ireland that constituted the third tier of the Irish American Football League. The league, which was founded in 2014, was won by the Tyrone Titans in its inaugural year.[2] Like the Premier League (tier 1) and IAFL-1 (tier 2), the league was contested by teams from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.[citation needed] The winner of the IAFL-2 Conference was promoted to Division 1. [3] After the rebranding of the IAFL to American Football Ireland (AFI) in 2020, the division was known as AFI Division 2.[1] As part of a restructuring of the AFI league format, IAFL-2 was eliminated beginning with the 2024 season, and its teams were merged into Division 1.[4]
