The Yorkshire Premier League North was formed in early 2016 following the re-structure of club cricket within Yorkshire,[1] and is an ECB Premier League. Of the initial twelve competing teams, six were from the now disbanded Yorkshire ECB County Premier League - Castleford, Driffield Town, Harrogate, Hull, York, and Yorkshire CCC Academy. The other six teams were from the York & District Senior Cricket League - Acomb, Dunnington, Scarborough, Sheriff Hutton Bridge, Stamford Bridge, and Woodhouse Grange. The League headquarters is based in Sowerby, Thirsk.[2]

A process of promotion and relegation is in operation. Originally, the bottom two teams each season were replaced by the top two teams from the York & District Senior Cricket League. In 2022 the Yorkshire Premier League North formed a second division of its own, and in 2023 this division was separated into Championship East and Championship West divisions, with the winner of each eligible for promotion. A 50 over knockout competition is also competed for in conjunction with the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League. Teams also compete in a T20 tournament, and there is also an U19 T20 for younger players.

The league winners qualify to take part in the Yorkshire Championship, together with the winners of the Bradford Premier League and the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League, and the leading Yorkshire club in the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League.
