The Combined Counties Football League is a regional men's football league with members in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Jersey, Kent, Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Surrey, and the western half and south-eastern quarter of Greater London featuring mostly semi-professional clubs. It is sponsored by Cherry Red Records, and therefore officially known as the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties Football League.
It was founded in 1922 as the Surrey Senior League and was renamed in 1978 to the Combined Counties League. Initially the league was a single division and now consists of 59 teams in three divisions; the Premier Division, and Division One North and South. The league also has six teams competing in an Under-23's Development division, known as the John Bennett Development Division, and 18 under-18 teams split across North and South divisions, known as the Tony Ford Under-18 Youth Divisions.
The Premier Divisions North and South are two of sixteen recognised leagues to form the ninth level of the English football league system (known as Step 5 of the National League System), and the Division One is one of seventeen recognised leagues at level 10 (known as Step 6 of the National League System). The Combined Counties Football League is a feeder to the Isthmian and Southern Leagues.
