The league was inaugurated in the 1990–91 season. The league is the second highest level of rugby union in Ireland, as professional teams representing the four provinces of Ireland play in the Pro12. Division 1 sides are allowed to field only two professional players in their matchday sides, and only one may be a forward. Professional players may not participate in Division 2 matches. Foreign professional players may not play in the League.〔http://www.irishrugby.ie/6855_20932.php〕 ==History== The All-Ireland League has been dominated by teams from Limerick who have won 13 out of 23 titles.
