Wikipedia - National Premier Leagues Northern NSW
The National Premier Leagues Northern NSW (NPL NNSW) is a semi-professional soccer competition in Northern New South Wales. The competition is conducted by Northern NSW Football, one of two organizing bodies in New South Wales (the other being the National Premier Leagues NSW organized by Football NSW). The league is a subdivision of the second tier National Premier Leagues (NPL), which sits below the national A-League. Prior to 2014, the league was known as the Northern NSW State Football League (1998-2013) and Northern First Division (1959-1997).
History
After Sydney clubs broke away from the NSW Football Association in 1958, the Northern NSW Soccer Federation was created by Newcastle and Coalfields clubs.
A 12 team Northern First Division was established with: Adamstown, Awaba, Blacksmith Rangers, Cardiff, Cessnock, Charlestown United, Lake Macquarie, Mayfield United, Merewether Advance, Newcastle Austral, Wallsend and West Wallsend.
The league, jointly with other state-based leagues, formed the highest tier of soccer in Australia until the creation of a national league, the National Soccer League (NSL), in 1977.
In 1960 the league was downsized to 10 teams with the relegation of Charlestown United and Merewether Advance to Division 2.
In 1969 the league increased to 12 teams with Cardiff and Cessnock promoted from Division 2 and no relegations that season.
Between 1982 and 1991 the league fluctuated in size between 10 and 12 teams and settled at 10 teams in 1992 until 2009.
For the 2009 season it was decided by NNSW to downsize the league to 8 teams to improve the quality and give local players a chance to enter the A-league through the competition. Highfields Azzurri and Lake Macquarie City were both demoted to the Northern NSW State League. Clubs were assessed on a set criterion which included facilities/ground (30%), financial status (25%), management (20%), playing strength/coaching staff (15%) and development program (10%). An independent body, chaired by former NSW gaming minister Richard Face, was assigned to make the decision.
In 2012 the competition increased to 10 teams with the inclusion of the Newcastle Jets Youth and the promotion of Charlestown City Blues.
In 2017 the competition increased to 11 teams with Lake Macquarie promoted from the Northern League One.
The 2020 season, contracted back to 10 teams after Newcastle Jets Youth moved into the NPL New South Wales structure, playing in the Sydney-based competition.
In 2022 the competition increased back to 11 teams with the promotion of Cooks Hill United, from Northern League One.
In 2023 the competition increased to 12 teams with the promotion of New Lambton, from Northern League One.
Competing teams engage in a thrilling season of matches, where skill, strategy, and teamwork are put to the test on the pitch. The league not only serves as a platform for aspiring players to showcase their abilities but also fosters a strong sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship among participants and fans alike.
With a focus on nurturing young talent, the Northern NSW Premier League is a vital stepping stone for players aiming to progress to higher levels of competition, including national leagues and professional opportunities. The tournament is characterized by its vibrant atmosphere, with dedicated supporters cheering on their teams, creating an electric environment at every match.
Throughout the season, clubs compete for the coveted championship title, culminating in a thrilling finals series that determines the league champion. The Northern NSW Premier League is not just about the game; it’s about building community, promoting healthy competition, and celebrating the beautiful game of soccer in Australia.
