The Yorkshire Premier League North was formed in early 2016 following the re-structure of club cricket within Yorkshire,[1] and is an ECB Premier League. Of the initial twelve competing teams, six were from the now disbanded Yorkshire ECB County Premier League - Castleford, Driffield Town, Harrogate, Hull, York, and Yorkshire CCC Academy. The other six teams were from the York & District Senior Cricket League - Acomb, Dunnington, Scarborough, Sheriff Hutton Bridge, Stamford Bridge, and Woodhouse Grange. The League headquarters is based in Sowerby, Thirsk.[2]
A process of promotion and relegation is in operation. Originally, the bottom two teams each season were replaced by the top two teams from the York & District Senior Cricket League. In 2022 the Yorkshire Premier League North formed a second division of its own, and in 2023 this division was separated into Championship East and Championship West divisions, with the winner of each eligible for promotion. A 50 over knockout competition is also competed for in conjunction with the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League. Teams also compete in a T20 tournament, and there is also an U19 T20 for younger players.
