North Wales Coast League
Encyclopedia
The North Wales Coast League was a North Welsh
association football league that existed from 1894 until 1921. After the Welsh Senior League, which started in 1890, it was the second association football league formed in North Wales. 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.
