NIFL Charity Shield
Association football cup in Northern Ireland
The Northern Ireland Football League Charity Shield is the national association football super cup in Northern Ireland. It has been held on an occasional basis since its inauguration in 1992. Similar to the English FA Community Shield, it pits together the previous campaign's Irish League champions and Irish Cup winners, providing the opening match of the Irish League season.
Crusaders are the current holders, after they defeated Larne 2–0 in the 2023 edition to win the competition for the second time and second consecutive season.[1]
