The National Football League recommenced on 2 February 2013. 32 teams (Ireland's 32 GAA counties plus London and minus Kilkenny, who withdrew from the competition) are contesting the competition. The reigning League Champions were Cork. 2012 All-Ireland Champions Donegal competed in the top division, as did Mayo whom they beat in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. The losing All-Ireland finalists in 2010 and 2011, respectively Down and Kerry, were there too. The top division was completed by newly promoted Kildare and Tyrone and 2011 All-Ireland Champions Dublin. All-Ireland Champions Donegal travelled to Croke Park to play Kildare in their first league game of the season on 3 February 2013. On 28 April, Dublin defeated Tyrone by 0-18 to 0-17 to win their first league title since 1993. Two late points by Dean Rock and one by Jack McCaffrey in the final four minutes steered Dublin to victory. Dublin, captained by Stephen Cluxton, won their tenth title in total before a crowd of 33,134 at Croke Park. ==Format== The 2013 format of the National Football League is a system of four divisions. The top three consist of 8 teams, and Division 4 contains nine teams. Each team plays each other team in its division once. 2 points are awarded for a win, and 1 for a draw. The top two teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 are promoted, and contest the finals of their respective divisions. The bottom two teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated. The top four teams in Division 1 contest the 2013 NFL semi-finals and final. Opening on 2 February, the 2013 National Football League took a three-week break after the second round of games, resuming on 2 March with games across four successive weekends. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 National Football League (Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
