Northern Premier League Premier Division
Encyclopedia
The Premier Division is the top division of the Northern Premier League
. It is at Step 3 (or level 7) of the National League System
, placing it six divisions below the Premier League. For sponsorship reasons, it is often referred to as the Evo-Stik League Premier Division.
The league was founded in 1968
, as the northern equivalent of the Southern League, being the highest level non-League
division below The Football League
. In 1979
, upon the creation of the Alliance Premier League
, it became a feeder league and fell down one 'level' in the English football league system
. Since then, its prestige has fallen further: there are now two levels between it and the Football League.
The division is at the same level as the Premier Divisions of the Southern League and the Isthmian League. At the end of each season two clubs are promoted to the Conference North
: the league champions, and the winners of a play-off competition held between the 2nd through 5th placed clubs. The four lowest placed teams are relegated to the Northern Premier League Division One North
or Northern Premier League Division One South
, to be replaced by four promoted teams.
All clubs from the Premier Division also compete in the NPL Challenge Cup
and the Peter Swales Shield
knockout competition, but not in the other two NPL cup competitions (the President's Cup
and the Chairman's Cup
). Before 2007–08 Premier Division teams did compete in the Chairman's Cup.
