The North Devon Football League is an football competition based in England. It was established in 1904. The top division of this league, which is the Premier Division, sits at level 12 of the English football league system and is a feeder to the South West Peninsula League. The North Devon Gazette sponsors the league and so the full, sponsored name of the league is the North Devon Gazette Football League.[1]
The league covers a 50 mile radius from Barnstaple (ironically Barnstaple Town Reserves elect to play in the Devon and Exeter League), and also includes one team from Cornwall.
