The Herefordshire Football League is an English football league based in the county of Herefordshire. The league, which is sponsored by The Hereford Times, currently has three divisions – the Premier Division, Division One, and Division Two. The league is affiliated to the Herefordshire County FA.
Whilst the Herefordshire League is not officially part of the National League System, clubs who win this league can apply to enter to the lower divisions of the West Midlands (Regional) League, Midland League or the Hellenic League. This effectively (though unofficially) puts the top division of the league at level 13 of the English football league system.
The league has occasionally had clubs from Wales as members – most recently in 2010, Hay St. Mary's entered their third team into the league in the Premier Division.
