The successor of the League of Ireland Premier Division, it is part of the FAI League of Ireland, just above the FAI First Division.

All clubs participating in the old league were invited to apply for inclusion in the new Premier Division with the top twelve, as selected by an Independent Assessment Group, being handed a spot in the Premier Division. A remaining 10 were to be placed in the First Division.
