The West Riding County Amateur Football League is a football competition based in Yorkshire, England, currently sponsored by the Mumtaz Restaurant. It has a total of 3 divisions including the Premier Division, which sits at level 11 of the English football league system, although it is not officially part of the National League System and therefore has only an informal feeder agreement with the Northern Counties East Football League. The league also has two Reserve divisions, although a number of reserve teams actually play in the main Senior divisions. The league operated with only one division until the 1953/54 season.
In December 2001, in a match between Littletown and Storhes Hall a World Record was achieved with a penalty shoot-out during which 34 consecutive penalties were taken and all scored. The Guinness Book of Records ratified the achievement on the 10 April 2002.
