The North Wales Coast League was a North Welsh association football league that existed from 1893 until 1921. After the Welsh Senior League, which started in 1890,[1] it was the second association football league formed in North Wales.[2] There was an attempt to restart the league in 1930, which failed, followed by another restart in 1933, which lasted for two seasons. Seven teams from across the North Wales coast contested in the first season, with the number of clubs increasing to 26 in 1920, playing over two divisions.

History

In 1921 the league was absorbed into the Welsh National League.

As well as the failed attempt to restart the league in the 1930-31 season, the North Wales Football Combination was formed in the same season, then renamed North Wales Coast League for the 1933-34 season, for two seasons. Dissbanded due to the formation of the Welsh League North.[3][4][5]
