The Airedale and Wharfedale Senior Cricket League was established in 1936 and is an amateur cricket competition in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The league is structured into 6 divisions, with two clubs promoted and relegated into each division respectively. The league set-up was restructured in 2018 allowing club 2nd XI teams to be promoted into divisions that were previously reserved for 1st XI teams.[1]
Participating clubs are spread over a relatively wide geographical area in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The location of the clubs broadly follow the valleys and landscapes of the River Aire and the River Wharfe.[2]
