This season sees the NI Football League take over the running of the league for the first time and Danske Bank on board as title sponsor.

Chairperson of the Women’s Premiership Committee Maura Muldoon said: “To have Danske Bank as sponsor of the new Women’s Premiership in our inaugural season is truly wonderful. Danske Bank is an international brand and this sponsorship deal is evidence of the ambition of the NIFL to build the women’s brand of football.
