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

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]
