Irish Football Association
Northern Ireland proudly boasts one of the oldest, longest-running domestic leagues in the world
First contested in 1890 the Irish League continued through not only two World Wars but also the well-publicised Northern Ireland troubles to retain a degree of normality in even the darkest of days in the history of our wee country.
Unlike their high profile equivalents across the water footballers here are, with very few exceptions, part-time players combining their love of the game with their day-to-day careers. There are many different reasons for this, not least the lack of investment in the game in comparison with the English and Scottish versions.
The pinnacle of the game in Northern Ireland is the JJB Sports sponsored Premier League comprising 12 teams from five of our six counties.

Welcome to the new website, for the now, Belfast and East Antrim Invitational Youth League, which is currently going into it's 8th season.
We have teams from all regions of the country currently involved with the league, as well as some Irish League clubs. Currently this season, we have teams from Ballymena, Comber, Antrim, Templepatrick, Larne, Ballyclare, Belfast, to name but a few.
Age groups span over several different levels, vending from under 11's, right the way through to under 17's. There is also hope, that an under 10 league can be introduced by next season, as well as even more teams being invited into our leagues.
As I'm sure you can imagine, it takes an unbelievable amount of work for the committee to help run the league, and if anyone is willing to come on board and help with the running of the league can find details under the Contact Us section.
This website has been created for the league itself, to use as a way of displaying results, fixtures, league tables, and news. There is also a new feature to the website in the form, of a forum, where managers, players, etc. can voice opinions over generally anything, whether it be the league itself, English football, computer games, etc
