The final lineup for the 2021/22 season was confirmed by the FAI on Saturday.

A nine-team schedule had previously been issued, leaving one team with a week off each round of fixtures.

With all ten teams now confirmed, Treaty enter the second tier of Irish football by replacing Shamrock Rovers II who had played in the division for 2020, themselves having replaced Limerick FC following their 2019 collapse.

Per the FAI, “Licences for the 2021 season were awarded by the Independent Licensing Committee on Friday. On receipt earlier today of the NLEC recommendation that the First Division comprise of 10 teams, the FAI Board then took its decision this afternoon.”

Two years on, Friday night football is back in Limerick.

Treaty will be managed by former Limerick FC boss Tommy Barrett, the club playing Bray Wanderers in their opening fixture.
