1922–23 League of Ireland

Despite finishing in sixth and eighth place the previous season, Frankfort and YMCA were not re-elected.

Six new teams were elected, extending the League to twelve teams: Athlone Town, Midland Athletic, Pioneers, Rathmines Athletic, Shelbourne United and Shamrock Rovers. Athlone Town became the first team from outside Dublin to compete in the League.

Two matches were not played:

• The match between Rathmines Athletic and Dublin United was awarded as a scoreless win to Dublin United, as Rathmines Athletic resigned from the League before the end of the season.
• The match between Olympia and Athlone Town was awarded as a scoreless draw.

Shamrock Rovers won their first title.
