The East Cornwall League (formerly the East Cornwall Premier League) is a football competition based in Cornwall and west Devon, England, in the United Kingdom. The Premier Division and Division One sit at level 12 and 13 of the English football league system. Due to a sponsorship arrangement, the league is currently known as the Cornish Guardian East Cornwall League. Each division has up to 16 clubs, with two-up two-down promotion and relegation between the divisions.
Up to 20 clubs competed in a single division until the 2005–06 season, after which the league was split into two divisions for the first time, with the top fourteen clubs from 2005–06 forming the Premier Division and the remaining clubs a number of Plymouth based sides transferring from the Plymouth and West Devon League to form a new Division One. Three teams from the East Cornwall League (Camelford, Dobwalls and Foxhole Stars) were promoted as founder members of the new South West Peninsula League in Division One West in 2007. Premier Division champions St. Dennis were promoted at the end of the 2010–11 season and runners-up Sticker were promoted at the end of the 2011-12 season.

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or league:
“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
