The 1927–28 National Football League was the 2nd staging of the National Football League, a Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland, held in 1927 and 1928.
The League was won by Kerry.
There were three divisions – Northern, Southern, and Western. Division winners played off for the NFL title.
The league was not decided by a one-match final. The three division winners played each other in a series of Inter-Divisional tests. As Kerry and Kildare both defeated Mayo, it meant that the Kerry v Kildare tie was a 'de facto' final.
Meath beat Down, but forfeited the points for being late on the field
Laois were awarded the points in respect of their tie with Clare at Kilkee
Mayo won, finishing ahead of Sligo, Galway, Roscommon and Leitrim.
