History
The Cream Football League was founded in 2010 by a group of friends who wanted to play football but didn't want to commit to the time and expense of a full-contact league.
The league started with just four teams, but it has grown steadily over the years. The current season has 10 teams, with more teams expected to join in the future.

The Cream Football League plays by modified American football rules. The games are played on a 70-yard field with 8 players per team. There is no tackling, and the ball can be advanced by running, passing, or kicking.
The league also has a few unique rules, such as:
- There is no punting.
- Field goals are worth 3 points.
- Touchdowns are worth 6 points.
