The Cash Plus Premier League is the first division football league in the nation of Jamaica. Twelve teams currently compete in the league, which is mainly sponsored by Wray and Nephews.

The competition is divided in three stages in which every team plays another once; after the third stage (i.e. after 33 games) the top six teams will be placed in one group and the bottom six in another. The top six teams will play against each other in the fourth round, with the top team being crowned champions. The bottom six teams will also only play against each other with no chance of winning the title.

The top two teams from the league qualify for the CFU Club Championship, and the bottom two are relegated at the end of the season. To date, the NPL has produced three Caribbean championships by Portmore United F.C. (2005) and Harbour View F.C. (2004 & 2007).
