Season 3 of the Zoom-based Irish Quiz League was held between January and April 2023, and consisted of 26 teams from across Ireland and beyond.
- The 26 teams were arranged into three divisions: the top two divisions had 9 teams each while the third division had 8 teams (though we did have one team drop out along the way, so Division 3 finished with only 7 teams).
- The season ran for nine weeks, between January 23rd and April 24th 2023 – skipping 1-2 Mondays per month due to Irish bank holidays and Dublin Quiz League match nights.
- There was a total prize fund of over €1,000 with cash prizes for the winner and runner-up in each division.
- Promotion/relegation was in effect for top & bottom 2 teams in each division, for the subsequent season later in 2023.
- At the end of the League season, for the first time we ran an IQL Cup knock-out competition during the month of May, with free entry to all current League teams. Current fixtures for the IQL Cup can be found back on the main Irish Quiz League page.
