'IAFL-2' is the third tier of American football in Ireland. The League was Founded in 2014 with the Tyrone Titans Winning the inaugural competition.[2]

Like The Shamrock Bowl Conference (Tier 1) & IAFL-1 (Tier 2) the league contains teams from both the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland.

The aim of the IAFL-2 Conference is for new teams entering the sport. The IAFL-2 Conference is a more controlled environment than the SBC and IAFL-1 conferences, which gives new clubs the chance to build their team and organisation while still playing football at a competitive level. The winner of the IAFL-2 Conference can progress to the IAFL-1 conference [3]

The current champions are the Donegal/Derry Vipers [4][1]
