The Northern League is a men's football league in north east
England. Having been founded in 1889, it is the second-oldest
football league in the world still in existence after
the English Football League.
It contains two divisions; Division One and Division Two.
Division One sits on the ninth tier of the English football
league system, five divisions below the Football League. These
leagues cover the historic counties
of Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland and Yorkshire's North
Riding. The champion club of Division One is promoted to the
lower division of the Northern Premier League.
