Format
League structure
The 2009 format of the National Football League was a system of four divisions. The top three divisions consisted of 8 teams, and Division 4 contained nine teams. Each team played every other team in its division once, either home or away. 2 points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
Tie-breaker
If two or more teams were level on points:
- Points difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) was used to rank the teams
- If points difference was identical, total scored was used to rank the teams
- If still identical, the head-to-head game between the teams concerned was used to rank the teams
Finals, promotions and relegations
The top two teams in Division 1 contested the 2009 NFL final. The top two teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 were promoted, and contested the finals of their respective divisions. The bottom two teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 were relegated.
