The Gwent County League (known as the Welsh AutoParts Gwent County League for sponsorship reasons) is a football league in South Wales, consisting of 3 divisions, named Divisions One, Two and Three. Division One is a feeder to the Welsh Football League Division Three, and therefore sits at level 5 of the Welsh football pyramid.
The league was formed in 1980 from a merger of the Monmouthshire Senior League and the Gwent Premier League.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or league:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
