The 1970–71 National Football League was the 40th staging of the National Football League (NFL), an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland.
1970-71 saw the introduction of a new format.
Each team played every other team in its division (or group where the division is split) once, either home or away.
2 points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
In the Semi-Finals, the match-ups were as follows:
The final match-up is: Winner Semi-final 1 v Winner Semi-final 2.
In the event that teams finish on equal points, then a play-off will be used to determine group placings if necessary, i.e. where to decide relegation places or quarter-finalists.
