1969–70 National Football League (Ireland)


The 1969–70 National Football League was the 39th staging of the National Football League, an annual Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland.
Mayo beat Down in the final. The funeral of J. J. Cribbin, who scored two goals and a point in the final, occurred exactly fifty years later.
