National Football League Division 2 North
Шаблон:Main Down were promoted to Division 2 following their 2020 campaign, however in December 2020, it was announced that each division would be divided into North and South sections in order to reduce fixtures and minimise cross-border matches.[2] Teams will play three league games, plus possibly two knockout matches, allowing the tournament to be finished in just five rounds of games.[3][4][5] In February 2021, it was announced that the league would be delayed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games, but that cancelling it would be a last resort.[6][7][8]
The National League began on 15 May 2021. Following two defeats Down entered into the relegation play-offs, beating Laois 2-19 - 2-12 to retain their Division 2 status for the 2022 campaign.[9]
