The Yorkshire Amateur Association Football League is an amateur competitive football league based in West Yorkshire, England. The league has a total of eight divisions, the highest of which is the Yorkshire Amateur League Supreme Division, which sits at level 11 of the English football league system. It is a feeder to the Northern Counties East Football League.
The League runs three League Cup competitions annually. Teams in the Premier Division, Championship, and Division One contest the Terry Marflitt Trophy. The Hancock Cup is contested by teams in Division Two and Division Three. Teams in Division Four and Division Five contest for the Hodgson Cup.
In the 2008–09 season, Gildersome Spurs Old Boys made the record books by winning all four of the competitions they entered, including Senior B, the Terry Marflitt Trophy, the Yorkshire Old Boys Shield, and the Wheatley District Cup.
The Yorkshire Amateur Association Football League received FA Charter Standard status in the 2017-18 season and celebrated being in existence for 90 years. The Terry Marflitt Trophy and Hancock Cup finals were held at South Leeds Stadium as part of these celebrations.[1]
Before the 2019–20 season, the Yorkshire League was admitted to Step 7 of the National League System (NLS) after creating the Supreme Division, which took seven clubs from the dissolved West Riding County Amateur Football League.[2] At that step, the league's top division succeeded its former West Riding County League counterpart. It was abolished ahead of the next season and replaced with the designation Regional NLS Feeder Leagues. The first team to gain promotion was Route One Rovers, which in 2023 was elevated to the North West Counties Football League, and the following season saw Middleton win promotion, this time to the Northern Counties East Football League.[3]
