The 2009 IFA Shield was an association football tournament organised by the Indian Football Association. Most of the teams came from the I-League 1 & 2, with AS Douanes (Dakar) invited from Senegal and Tata Football Academy qualifying by winning the Prodyut Dutta Memorial Trophy. The Shield was won by Churchill Brothers.
The teams were divided into 4 groups of 3 teams each. The winner of each group will qualify for the semifinals. The tournament started on 30 August and the final was played on 12 September. ESPN televised the two semifinals and final live from the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Saltlake.
The probable venues would be Mohun Bagan ground, East Bengal ground, Howrah Municipal Stadium, Barasat Stadium and Kalyani Municipal Stadium.
