The National Cricket League is the oldest domestic first class cricket competition in Bangladesh.
The National Cricket League was inaugurated in the 1999–2000 season but was not then first-class. Bangladesh became the tenth Full Member of the ICC in 2000 and the league became first-class in the 2000–01 season. Limited-overs and Twenty20 tournaments with the same name have also been played in the past.
Since 2011-12 there have been eight teams in the league, which usually runs from October to December. From 2011–12 to 2014–15 each team played each other team once over the course of the season. In 2015–16 and 2016-17 there was a two-tier league: Rangpur, Khulna, Dhaka Division and Dhaka Metropolis were in the first tier in 2015-16, and Rajshahi, Sylhet, Barisal and Chittagong in the second; for the 2016-17 season Barisal were promoted to tier 1 and Rangpur demoted to tier 2.
The league is also known under its main sponsor's name. In 2015–16 it was officially the "Walton LED TV 17th National Cricket League".
