Linfield Wins 57th Irish Premiership Title

Linfield clinched the Irish Premiership title for the 57th time after Glentoran drew 2-2 with Larne, creating an unassailable 19-point lead with six matches left. The win marks Linfield's first Gibson Cup since 2022, ending Larne's two-year hold on the title. Linfield chairman Roy McGivern praised the team, manager David Healy, and the staff for their remarkable success and expressed ambitions to emulate Larne's achievement of reaching the UEFA Conference League. Despite not securing the title on the pitch, Linfield plans a significant trophy presentation at Windsor Park. The Glentoran-Larne match saw Andy Ryan score a crucial equalizer, silencing Glentoran's 2-0 lead and indirectly confirming Linfield's championship. Linfield now looks forward to balancing domestic and European competitions next season.
