From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yugoslav First League (Prva Liga) was the premier football league in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1941) and the socialist Yugoslavia (1945-1991).

For the First league of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1991-2003, before FRY was renamed Serbia and Montenegro), please see First League of Serbia and Montenegro.

The First League Championship was one of two national competitions held annually in Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Cup being the other.
