A New Era for Australian Rules in Ireland dawned in 2018 with a rebranding to Australian Football League Ireland and the first full Women’s League Season.

The Men’s 2018 Premiership was won by Belfast Redbacks with a 100% record, and they went on to win the Grand Final in style against the Galway Magpies 9.14.68 to 3.11.29 [14]

In 2019, the Redbacks repeated the feat, going 6-0 (Wins-Losses) during the season, before triumphing in the Grand Final against Leeside Lions from Cork, on a scoreline of 12.5 (77) to 6.12 (48) [Ref: 36]
