The North Wales Alliance League was a football league in Wales. It was made up of teams from Wrexham County Borough, Flintshire and Denbighshire.

History[edit]

The North Wales Alliance League ran during the early years of the twentieth century from 1912 to 1921.[1]

At that time the senior clubs in the Wrexham area played in English leagues such as The Combination and the Birmingham & District League.

Clubs from the Wrexham area, and the rest of North Wales, joined the Welsh National League (North) which ran from 1921 to 1930.[2]
