The Duchy League is a football competition based in the eastern half of Cornwall, United Kingdom, but also includes a few sides from over the border in Devon. The League was formed in 1965 as a merger of the Liskeard & District League and the St. Austell & District League. It has a total of six divisions headed by the Duchy League Premier Division, which sits at level 14 of the English football league system. It is a feeder to the East Cornwall League Division One. In 2014–15, Padstow United won the Premier Division, and earned promotion to the East Cornwall League Division One.
The 2015–16 season will see The Duchy League run three cup competitions: the KMD Developments Cup; Bodmin Sports Trophies Duchy League Cup and the TJ International Reserve Team Cup. The KMD Developments Cup sees the top 32 teams from the previous seasons league positions take part in a knockout cup competition, with the semi-finals and final played on neutral grounds. The Bodmin Sports Trophies Duchy League Cup sees the rest of teams compete in a similar knockout competition whilst the TJ International Reserve Team Cup is a competition for clubs who have a second team in the Duchy Leagues. In 2014–15, St. Stephen, of the Premier Division, won the KMD Developments Cup; Veryan won the Bodmin Sports Trophies Duchy League Cup (as well as winning Division Three) and the Reserve Cup was won by Grampound Reserves.
