The Internasjonal Fotballserie (IFS) is a professional Tronder rules football league that consists of 24 clubs. The IFS is the highest level of Tronder rules football (simply known as "football" in the member countries) in Tevitheim, Jortfeld, and Furby Island and Hartizsák. Each IFS season begins in early June, followed by a 17-week regular season which runs until late September to early October, for a total of 28 games per club over 17 weeks. Following the conclusion of the regular season, the eight clubs with the most points (established by the point system) move on to the finals, a series tournament that culminates in the IFS Championship Series, which is contested in December to January. In addition, three other awards are granted: the Offensive and Defensive shields are given to the clubs with the best offenses and defenses, as determined by a commission of journalists, pundits, players, and coaches. In addition, the Oberjarl's Trophy is given to the club with the best record. Winning all three of these awards, plus the championship game, is known as crowned season. The IFS is a full member of the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, the governing body for Tronder rules football.

The IFS was formed in 1950 as a merger of the Jortfeld-Furby Island-Hartizsák League (JFIH League), the Northern League, and the Southern Association of Football. This new league began with 13 clubs, three from the JFIH, six from the Northern, and four from the Southern. The league would expand to 16 clubs in the 1960s, 20 in 1974, and reached its current number of 24 in 1997. While initially final standings determined the champion, a three-way tie between Jarlens, Adelsønn, and North Furby Island in 1957 led to a single elimination tournament to determine the champion, which was won by Jarlens. The final rounds were so popular that the league voted to keep the structure for the next years. This system was expanded from 3 clubs to 4, 6 in 1973, 8 in 1984, and then eventually to 12 in 1997. The IFS is the most popular sports league in the three countries which host teams, averaging 11 million viewers per game and an average attendance of 49,000 people.

Alna City holds the most championships with eight titles and the most Oberjarl's Trophies, winning six. The reigning league champion is Koross, who defeated North Furby Island in three games to win its fifth ever championship.
