History

The United Counties League was formed in 1895 as the Northamptonshire Junior League, dropping the 'Junior' one year later. It took its current name in 1934 as teams from other counties had long since been a part of the league. Over the years the UCL has 'united' teams from Northamptonshire, Rutland and Bedfordshire with those from parts of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and even Norfolk.

The league has been won by a variety of clubs over the years, with the most successful being Wellingborough Town, who have won the title 11 times. Other notable winners include Boston United, Kettering Town and Rushden & Diamonds.
