From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lancashire Amateur Football League is an English association football league founded in 1899. Currently the league consists of eight divisions - Premier, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven. The Premier Division is at level 14 in the English football league system. The champions of the Premier League may apply for promotion to the West Lancashire Football League.
The top two teams from each division are promoted to the next division up and the bottom two teams are relegated to the next division down. Two teams from the same club are not permitted to compete in the same division.
