In addition to teams from east Limerick, the league is home to Charleville A.F.C., Nenagh A.F.C. and Newport Town A.F.C.. The winners of the top division in the league are presented with the Fran Mulally trophy, first named in 2005–06.

In September 2021, the LDL agreed to postpone its annual general meeting and meet with the FAI after concerns were raised by club representatives about the league's finances.In November 2022, the majority of league clubs expressed concern over the league's governance, including the lack of term limits and a failure to carry out a financial audit recommended by the FAI.
In June 2025, the FAI suspended the entire LDL committee after Sport Ireland flagged concerns about the association’s handling of complaints of “sustained harassment and bullying” in Limerick football. The case concluded in December 2025 without any sanctions being imposed.
