The England Netball Premier League is a netball league in England and the highest level of club/amateur netball in the country. The teams that make up the three divisions have come through the county, regional and national pathway to take one of the 30 places. [1]

Contents

The league was founded at the start of the 2006/07 season, as a replacement for the National Clubs League. It is the second level of play in the sport in England, below the closed Netball Super League. [1]

Competition Format

Each league comprises 10 teams who play each other twice in a home and away fixture. 5 points are award for a win, 3 for a draw, 2 for a loss within 5 goals, 1 for a loss if more than 50% of the winners score and 0 for any other loss. [2] The team who finishes top of the each league table are named champions. [2]

Each season, the top two teams in Premier League 2 and 3 are promoted to the division above, and the bottom two teams in Premier League 1 and 2 are relegated. [3] In Premier League 3 the bottom 3 teams (8th, 9th and 10th) take part in the Premier League Play-Offs alongside the 9 regional league winners to decide who will compete in Premier League 3 the following season. [2]

The league started with two divisions but expanded to 3 divisions for the 2010/2011 season, each with ten teams.
