Wikipedia - Ulster Senior League (association football)
The Ulster Senior League was an association football league featuring amateur, intermediate, and League of Ireland reserve teams. Together with the Leinster Senior League Senior Division and the Munster Senior League Senior Premier Division, it forms the third level of the Republic of Ireland football league system. Ulster Senior League teams also compete in the FAI Cup and the FAI Intermediate Cup. The winners of the Ulster Senior League have also been invited to play in the now defunct League of Ireland Cup. Despite using the Ulster name in its title, almost all of its clubs are based in County Donegal and the City of Derry. The most successful club in the league has been Fanad United who have won fourteen league titles and ten league cups. Since 2006 the USL operated as a summer league with the season typically operating from April to October. In 2023, there were five teams competing in the league.
The League was dissolved in 2024, with the member clubs returning to junior football in Inishowen and Donegal leagues.
History
The Ulster Senior League was formed in 1986. The driving force behind the establishment of the league was Fr. Michael Sweeney, a pioneer of junior and intermediate association football in County Donegal. In addition to founding the USL, Sweeney had earlier been instrumental in both establishing the Donegal League and forming Fanad United. Fanad United were the inaugural USL champions in 1986–87 and they subsequently went on to become the league's most successful club, winning fourteen league titles and ten league cups. In more recent seasons, Cockhill Celtic have challenged Fanad United's dominance, winning their first title in 2010 and then nine consecutive titles between 2013 and 2022. The winners of the Ulster Senior League have regularly been invited to participate in the League of Ireland Cup. In 1987–88 Fanad United were semi-finalists. Cockhill Celtic, Culdaff and Swilly Rovers have all represented the USL in the League of Ireland Cup. Fanad United have also won the FAI Intermediate Cup twice while Letterkenny Rovers were finalists in 2015–16.
September 2020 saw the leagues most successful club, Fanad United, announce their withdrawal from the USL to join the Donegal Junior League
2021 saw Monaghan United F.C., a former League of Ireland club, join the Ulster Senior League, the first club from Counties Cavan or Monaghan to do so. They withdrew from the league after just one season.
La ligue a été créée en 1995 et compte actuellement 16 équipes. La saison se déroule d'août à avril et se termine par les séries éliminatoires pour déterminer le champion. Le champion est promu en Premiership d'Irlande du Nord, tandis que l'équipe classée dernière est reléguée en Division intermédiraire de l'Ulster.
La Ligue Senior de l'Ulster est un tremplin important pour les jeunes joueurs d'Irlande du Nord, beaucoup d'entre eux passant par cette ligue avant de rejoindre la Premiership ou des clubs en Angleterre ou en Écosse.
