Northern Premier League

La Northern Premier League es una liga de fútbol regional masculina de Inglaterra, que cubre las zonas del norte de Inglaterra.

Historia

Por razones de publicidad, se la conoce como Evo-Stik League Premier Division, cuyo contrato termina en 2017, hasta 2010 era conocida como Unibond League. La liga fue fundada en 1968 y estaba al mismo nivel que la Southern League, las cuales eran una sola. En 1987 se añadió la Division One, que se dividió en 2007 en dos, Division One North y Division One Sourth, . En 1979 y tras la Alliance Premier League, perdió importancia y se situó al mismo nivel que la Southern Football League y la Isthmian League, por debajo de la Conference League.

Estructura

Desde 2007, el NPL ha tenido tres divisiones: la Premier Division, Division One North y Division One South.. Antes de 2007 sólo había una sola División one.

Está formada por 24 equipos, de los cuales,a final de cada temporada, dos promocionan a la Football Conference, el campeón de liga y el ganador de un play off entre los clubs del cuarto al quinto. Los últimos cuatro equipos de la clasificación, descienden a la Northern Premier League Division One North o a la Northern Premier League Division One South, de los que ascienden dos de ambas.

Otras competiciones

Los equipos de esta división, compiten en la copa NPL Challenge Cup, ganada por el AFC Flyde, y en la Peter Swales Shield, ganada por el Halesowen Town, pero no en la NPL President's Cup ni en la Chairman's Cup (Desde la temporada 2007-2008).
