Division 1
Appearance
In sport, the First Division is usually the highest division of a league, and will often have promotion and relegation with divisions below. In some cases, the First Division may no longer be the highest division overall in that country, as new leagues can be created above, demoting the First Division down a level.
Examples include:
- The Football League First Division of the English football league system (now only the third highest division)
- The Scottish League First Division of the Scottish football league system
- The Welsh Football League First Division of the Welsh football league system
First division also has a similar meaning in baseball, although the term is rarely used today.
