FA National League System Cup
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
The FA National League System Cup is a new football competition run by The Football Association. It was created in the 2003/04 season to provide an English representative in the UEFA Regions Cup.
In previous Regions Cups, the FA had nominated a team to take part; in the 2002/03 season it was a Kent County League XI. UEFA decreed that in the future all Regions Cup entrants must have won a national competition, and so the NLS Cup was formed.
The cup is contested by representative sides from leagues at level 4 of the National League System as organized prior to the 2004 restructuring, that is roughly at the county level or tenth overall tier of the English football league system. The first final was held on May 8, 2004, and was won by the Mid Cheshire League, who beat the Cambridgeshire County League 2-0.
The second final will be held on May 7, 2006, and will pit the Cambridgeshire County League and Isle of Man League.
