The West Riding County Amateur Football League is a football competition based in Yorkshire, England. Formed in 1922, it has three divisions which includes a number of reserve teams.

Contents

The top division, the Premier Division, sits at level 11 of the English football league system. Silsden, Brighouse Town, Hemsworth Miners Welfare and Campion were the most recent teams to move up from the league. Silsden were promoted in 2004 after winning the Premier Division in successive seasons but chose to play their football in the North West Counties League whereas Brighouse Town, Hemsworth Miners Welfare and Campion went up to the Northern Counties East League Division One.

The league operated with only one division until the 1953–54 season, but has expanded over time to reach the current size.

Each division has its own divisional league cup, the Premier Division Cup, the Division One Cup and the Division Two Cup.
