Northern Football Federation Logo

The United Soccer 1 Men's Premiership is a semi-professional status New Zealand Association football (Soccer) league competition involving member football (soccer) clubs of the Northern Football Federation. It is the highest level football competition in the Northland, northern Auckland and West Auckland regions.

The inaugural US1 Premiership was played in 2008 with 10 clubs taking part. East Coast Bays became the first winners of the new league and did so without dropping a single point in all their 18 league games. Their dominance was evident by the fact they finished 17 points ahead of the runners up Waitakere City.

In 2009 Forrest Hill Milford were promoted from the 1st Division and without any relegation this left the league with 11 teams for this season. East Coast Bays and Waitakere City are once again battling it out for the championship, with Bays slight favourites heading into the last few weeks of the season.
