Players are free to transfer in the off-season so long as there are no outstanding obligations to their former club. A former club querying an off-season transfer must submit in writing to the IHI Executive Committee the reasons why along with evidence to support.

In-season a player transferring will require their new Club to submit the following form to request the transfer and their new club will be required to pay the relevant fee of €20. IHI National Leagues Committee will then verify if transfer can occur or not.

Players are able to make one transfer per season.

A transfer down in senior leagues can occur up until the player’s new team has played 25% of their League games, this is limited to a one-league drop. I.e, a player cannot drop from Elite to League 2.

A transfer up or to a team in the same league can occur up until the player’s new team has played more than 60% of their League games.

Players transferring to another team must also play for said team in the League Cup and not the former team.
This only applies if the new team has not already begun their League Cup campaign, in which case the new player is forbidden to play with them.

Should a Fringe Player transfer to another club, he/she can continue to utilise his/her special status by playing in 2 senior divisions should the new club have teams in said amount of divisions.
The limits are still applicable. The player can still be forbidden to play in a particular division with a new club if the limit for a particular team has been surpassed. The Fringe Player must complete must fill, sign and return the U18/U22 Compliance Form as usual.

New players can register and join a team at any time, however, Playoff eligibility rules still apply.

The transfer of players under 18 years of age to another club must come with proper reasoning, led by the player and their parents, i.e. a junior player cannot be courted/poached to transfer by the new club.

A player must determine their ‘Home’ club. By default this will be the club that the player plays in junior age groups with and with whom they were registered with the previous season.

Any junior player wishing to transfer to another junior club must do so with good reason. IHI retain the right to query such request.

A player does not necessarily need to transfer to a different 3-on-3 team should he/she transfer to another junior club.
