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 successfully defended its league title for the third consecutive season, without a 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.

Table

Mayo finished first with 12 points from eight games. They had wins over Kildare, Louth, Laois, Galway, Tipperary and Cavan, and lost to Dublin and Meath.
