Clontarf were the defending champions having won their 4th title by defeating reigning champions Cork Constitution in the 2024–25 League Final. They reached the Final again but were beaten by St Mary's College who won their 3rd title. This was the fourth year in-a-row that the reigning champions lost the subsequent final.

Bective Rangers (after a 7-year absence) and Thomond (after a 6-year absence) made a return to the A.I.L. having been promoted from the Junior Provincial leagues replacing Tullamore and Omagh Academicals who were relegated.

Having played in the league since the club was founded in 1999, Belfast Harlequins were relegated from the league on the last day of the season. They will be replaced by Enniskillen who will make their league debut next season.

Format

The League consisted of 5 divisions of 10 teams each playing a double round-robin competition using the standard Rugby union bonus points system. At the completion of the league phase the top 4 teams in Division 1A qualified for the play-off semi-finals, with the two winners meeting in the final.

Initially, the 10th placed teams in Divisions 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B were to be relegated to Divisions 1B, 2A, 2B and 2C respectively while the winners of Divisions 1B, 2A, 2B and 2C were to be promoted up one division. The 9th placed team in Division 1A along with the 2nd to 4th placed teams in Division 1B would enter a play-off competition with the winner to play in Division 1A for 2026–27. This same play-off competition was to apply to the other divisions also. However, in October the IRFU announced a structural change to the league for the 2026–27 season whereby Divisions 2B and 2C would be combined and then split along geographical lines creating two new divisions, 2B North (2BN) and 2B South (2BS). This meant there would be no promotion or relegation between divisions 2B and 2C this season.

The 10th placed team in Division 2C were to be relegated from the A.I.L. to their respective Provincial qualifying league and be replaced by the winner of the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship. The 9th placed team in Division 2C were to play the runner-up of the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship with the winner to play in Division 2B for 2026–27.

All-Ireland Provincial League Championship

The All-Ireland Provincial League Championship was contested by the winners of the four provincial qualifying leagues in Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. They played in two semi-finals with the winners meeting in the final, with all matches played at neutral venues. The winner will play in Division 2B of the A.I.L. for 2026–27. The runners-up were to play away against the 9th place team in Division 2C and the winner of this play-off will also play in Division 2B of the A.I.L. for 2026–27.

Division 1A

Clontarf began their 13th consecutive season in the top division as reigning champions while last season's runners-up, Cork Constitution continued their ever presence in the league's topflight. Old Belvedere were back in Division 1A after 6 seasons while Nenagh Ormond became the first County Tipperary club to play in the league's top division. Their stay in Division 1A was short lived as they were relegated losing all 18 matches. For the first time since play-offs were introduced to decide the league champions, all four semi-finalists came from the same province (Leinster).
