Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored.[13]
(C) Champions;(R) Relegated
Notes:
  1. ^abSince the winners of the2018 FAI Cup, Dundalk, qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the Cup winner (Europa League first qualifying round) would normally pass to the next best-placed team (the fourth-placed team). However, as Waterford were adjudged by UEFA to have not passed the "three-year rule" as they were reformed in 2016, the spot was passed to the fifth-placed team.
