Shelbourne pipped holders Peamount United at the post to be crowned Women's National League champions.
A dramatic final-night turnaround saw leaders Peamount slip up at home to Galway.
Shels went into their home game against third-placed Wexford Youths two points adrift of the Newcastle club.
But a 3-2 victory for the northsiders coupled with Peamount turning a two-goal lead into a 5-2 defeat saw Shels leapfrog Peamount into top spot.
In doing so, Shelbourne won their first WNL title since 2016 having hit the post in each of the last three campaigns, finishing runner-up each time.
Jessica Stapleton opened the scoring for Noel King's side on 22 minutes against Wexford.
Noelle Murray doubled that lead just a minute later from the penalty spot.
Stapleton scored her second of the night shortly after half-time to leave Shels well in command.
Peamount were level at the break with Galway meaning the top two were level on points after 45 minutes.
