The 1935–36 National Football League was the 9th staging of the National Football League, a Gaelic football tournament for the Gaelic Athletic Association county teams of Ireland.

Mayo won the league for the third year in a row. There was no final, the league being decided on points.[1][2][3]

Format[]

This was the first NFL season not to be decided with a knockout final: the team with the most points were winners. This would not happen again until 2020, when the league finals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Table[]

Mayo finished first with 12 points from eight games. They had wins over Kildare, Louth, Laois, Galway, Tipperary and Cavan, and lost to Dublin and Meath.
