IRFU agree to maintain AIB League structures

The Irish Rugby Football Union, at a special meeting yesterday to discuss the AIB League, has agreed that the structure of the League from 2008/09 will remain a competition of three divisions consisting of 16 Clubs in each of those divisions.

The next review of the AIB League structures will take place after a minimum of two seasons (2009/10). This decision has been taken following a widespread consultation and review process. This review process included the views of all of the constituent clubs participating in the competition and the IRFU believes that this structure is in the best interests of Irish Rugby at this time.
