The Irish League 1917/18 was the third edition of the highest all-Irish football league during the First World War ; also called Belfast & District League.

The championships from 1915 to 1918 - unlike in the state cup competition - do not count as official competitions, and the respective winners have therefore not won an official title. The game was played from September 8th to November 17th, 1917. The winner was Linfield FC.

mode

The six teams played against each other twice on a total of ten match days.
