The North Regional was a football competition in Northern England. The League was formed in 1958 as a reserve league for Football League teams in the North of England. After being formed with 19 members, and reaching a maximum of 22 teams in its second season, numbers quickly began to decline, and by the final season, 1968–69, only 4 teams competed.
While the membership consisted mainly of reserve teams, a few first teams were admitted in at attempt to boost numbers, two of these (Gateshead and South Shields) were among those teams that lifted the championship.
