The Humber Premier League was formed in 2000 and sits at the 11th tier of the English football pyramid. It began as a single division and expanded to include a Division One for the 2005–06 season. Reckitts won the league five times in the first six seasons of its existence.
The league is based primarily in the East Riding of Yorkshire, although some north Lincolnshire clubs participate. It feeds the Northern Counties East League. However, not many clubs have taken the step up, largely because the bulk of the NCEL's clubs are based around Nottingham and Derby. Due to its status as a fairly new league and the general lack of hierarchical football structure in the Yorkshire area, the Humber Premier League has not established a history of promoting to a higher league.

Famous quotes containing the word league:
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
