League of Ireland Premier Division (irsk: Príomhroinn Sraith na hÉireann) er det øverste nivået i irsk toppfotball for herrer under League of Ireland. Ligaen ble grunnlagt i 1985 etter at League of Ireland ble delt i to serier, som deretter ble kalt League of Ireland Premier Division (nivå 1) og League of Ireland First Division (nivå 2).

Premier Division består av ti lag, hvor nummer ti rykker ned til First Division, mens lag nummer ni og åtte spiller kvalifisering mot henholdsvis nummer to og tre i First Division. Vinneren av Premier Division går inn i andre kvalifiseringsrunde til Mesterligaen, mens lag nummer to og tre går inn i henholdsvis andre og første kvalifiseringsrunde i Europaligaen.
