The 1919–20 Irish League was the 26th edition of the Irish League, the highest level of league competition in Irish football.
The league comprised eight teams and Belfast Celtic won the championship for the 3rd time.
Season summary
The league championship resumed after a four-year suspension due to the First World War; during the war teams had competed locally in the Belfast & District League (between 1915–16 and 1918–19) or the Leinster Senior League. The teams that played in this season were the same teams that last competed in the 1914–15 season.
Due to the political upheaval resulting from the Irish War of Independence, Belfast Celtic, Shelbourne and Bohemians all withdrew from the league with the conclusion of this season. Shelbourne and Bohemians later joined the new League of Ireland while Belfast Celtic would return to the Irish League in 1924–25.
