text: # 1935–36 National Football League (Ireland)
  
  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.
  
  ## 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.
