The North Lancashire and District Football League (currently sponsored by Baines Bagguley Solicitors) is a football competition based in England. The league was founded in 1919 and presently has a total of five divisions, the highest of which, the North Lancashire and District Football League Premier Division, and has a total of 60teams several of which are reserve teams although the league can accommodate up to 70 teams, and sits at level 14 of the English football league system. However the league is not officially part of the National League System and therefore has only an informal feeder agreement with the West Lancashire Football League with applicants only being accepted on such grounds as financial stability, ground quality and ground ownership amongst others. The league generally covers the area surrounding Lancaster and Morecambe but there are clubs from further afield in both Cumbria and North Yorkshire who also play in the league.

“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
