Northern Football Alliance League

The Northern Football Alliance League is an amateur football league based in the North East of England. It has four divisions: Premier Division, First Division, Second Division, and Third Division.

The league was founded in 1890 and is currently sponsored by Bay Plastics. The Premier Division sits at Step 7 of the National League System, which is the 11th tier of the English football league system.

The Northern Football Alliance was founded in 1890 as a single league, with a membership of seven teams. In 1926 it became the Second Division of the North Eastern League, but it split away again in 1935. It disbanded in 1964 due to lack of membership, but reformed just one season later, in 1965–66.
