The Limerick Desmond Football League is an association football league featuring amateur, junior, youth and under-17 teams from the part of County Limerick west of the N20. Its top division, the Premier Division, is a seventh level division in the Republic of Ireland football league system.

The league was founded in January 1955 following a meeting at the Desmond Castle, Newcastle West. It was agreed to call the league – the Desmond League and its founding members included – Killonan F.C., Newcastle West A.F.C., Tralee Dynamos and A.F.C. Askeaton. These four teams contested the first league championship which was won by Killonan.

The league has grown steadily over the years and currently has over 50 member clubs. The Premier Division is the top tier of the league, followed by the First Division, Second Division and Third Division. There is also an U18 Youths League.
