IAFL-2 is the third tier of American football in Ireland. The league was founded in 2014 with the Tyrone Titans winning the inaugural competition.

Like the Premier League (tier 1) and IAFL-1 (tier 2), the league has previously been contested by teams from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The aim of the IAFL-2 Conference is for new teams entering the sport. The IAFL-2 Conference is a more controlled environment than the SBC and IAFL-1 conferences, which gives new clubs the chance to build their team and organisation while still playing football at a competitive level. The winner of the IAFL-2 Conference can progress to the IAFL-1 conference

The 2016 champions were the Donegal/Derry Vipers.
