The league was restructured at the start of the 2015-16 season and as such there is now a total of 45 teams, several of which are reserve teams, although the league can, and has previously, accommodated up to 70 teams over five divisions. The league however is not officially part of the National League System and therefore has only an informal feeder agreement with the West Lancashire Football League with applicants only being accepted on such grounds as financial stability, ground quality and ground ownership amongst others. The league generally covers the area surrounding Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth but there are clubs from further afield in Wyre, Cumbria and North Yorkshire who also play in the league.
