The West Yorkshire League is a football competition based in Yorkshire, England. It was previously known as the Leeds League. The league currently has five divisions - three for first teams, the Premier Division, Division One and Division Two, plus two for reserve sides, the Alliance Division One and the Alliance Division Two.
Although not officially part of the National League System, the Premier Division effectively acts as a step 7 (or level 11) league, with clubs able to be promoted to the Northern Counties East League Division One. Two teams from the West Yorkshire League, Nostell Miners Welfare from the Premier Division and AFC Emley from Division One, were accepted by the Northern Counties East League for the 2006-07 season.
The divisional winners for the 2005-06 season were Leeds Metropolitan Carnegie (Premier Division), Sherburn White Rose (Division One) and Field Sports & Social (Division Two).
