This was a Scottish non-league football (soccer) competition that ran at various times between 1891 and 1946.
Initially an Eastern Football Alliance was run in 1891–92 with eight teams - Adventurers, Armdale, Bathgate Rovers, Bo'ness, broxburn, Kirkcaldy (who withdrew early in the season), Broxburn Shamrock and Mossend Swifts. Leith Hibernians who were actually the old Hibernian that disbanded in 1891 were also members but withdrew before the new season. They were replaced by Adventurers. Many matches remained unplayed with Mossend Swifts leading the table from results traced. The Eastern Alliance was wound up at the season's end.
The first league called Eastern Football League was formed in 1893–94 by Bathgate, Bo'ness Broxburn and Broxburn Shamrock, but again seems to have been abandoned midway through the season.
It was re-formed, however, in 1903 by Bathgate, Bo'ness, Broxburn, Broxburn Shamrock, Carfin Emmett, Cartvale, Dykehead, West Calder Swifts and Wishaw Amateurs
