Lincolnshire Premier League


The Lincolnshire Premier League was the top level of competition for club cricket in Lincolnshire, England between 2000 and 2025, the league ended in 2025 as part of the single league restructuring in Lincolnshire and the new Lincolnshire Premier Cricket League was formed.
The league was created in the year 2000 as part of the full restructuring of club cricket by the ECB. As part of the restructuring each county was given the chance to create a premier league for top clubs in that county and create a better bridge between club cricket and county cricket. The leagues all play 50 over games and have featured both overseas, county and test cricketers.
The league has just one division, and is fed by the Lincolnshire County Cricket League which covers the north of the county, and the South Lincolnshire and Border League which covers the south of the county. Clubs in the league are also eligible to play in the 2 premier national club cricket competitions, The ECB National Club Twenty20 with the local tournament known as the Winkworth Cup and the ECB National club cup
The league adopted a new format in 2019, with the top four teams at the end of the league season qualifying for semi-finals and a final to decide the championship, in the first season Woodhall Spa won the playoff after Bracebridge Heath was unable to field a side for the final.
The competing teams in 2020 were intended to be: Boston, Bourne, Bracebridge Heath, Grantham, Lindum, Louth, Market Deeping, Scunthorpe Town, Sleaford, and Woodhall Spa. The 2020 competition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A replacement competition was organised for the later part of the season when cricket again became possible, but with the winners not to be regarded as official league champions.
On 16 October 2025 the clubs of the Lincolnshire Board Premier League, Lincolnshire County Cricket League and the South Lincolnshire and Border league agreed to for a new League called the Lincolnshire Premier Cricket League. The 3 leagues were dissolved and a new league will commence in 2026.
