Promotion/relegation play-off Donegal Celtic FC Belfast - Institute FC Londonderry 0-0 1-0
Promoted Donegal Celtic FC Belfast
Donegal Celtic FC, runners-up of IFA Championship (second level), were the only club to hold the Domestic Club License required to partecipate
in the IFA Premiership (first level). Lisburn Distillery FC, who finished in 11th place, avoided having to play a relegation play-off,  which was passed
down instead to Institute FC Londonderry, who finished in 12th place, and would normally  have been automatically relegated.
