The Libyan Premier League (Arabic: الدوري الليبي الممتاز) is the highest division of the Libyan football league pyramid, organized by Libyan Football Federation.
The league has been ranked by the IFFHS as the 56th highest in the world for 2009, making it the 5th highest ranked league in the Arab world, after the Saudi Professional League, the Egyptian Premier League, the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1, & the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1
The league's television rights are owned by Libya Sports. They also show a highlights program, called 90 Minutes, which broadcasts every week.
The league is dominated by two clubs: Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, both based in the nation's capital. 42 of the 43 titles have been won by clubs from the two biggest cities: Benghazi & Tripoli.
The Libyan Premier League was founded in 1963. Prior to that, there were three Provincial Championships, one each for the Eastern, Western and Southern provinces. The first league season at national level was the 1963-64 season, in which participated the Western Province champion Al Ahly (Tripoli), the Eastern Province champion Al Ahly (Benghazi) and the Southern Province champion Hilal Sabha. After the withdrawal of Hilal Sabha due to lack of resources, the league was limited to just two teams. Al Ahly (Tripoli) defeated Al Ahly (Benghazi) 2-0 over two matches (1-0 home and away) to become the first Libyan Premier League champions.
