The North Devon Football League is a 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 Journal sponsors the league and so the full, sponsored name of the league is the North Devon Journal Football League.[1]
The league covers the whole of the North Devon area, and also includes a number of teams from Cornwall.
