The Devon Cricket League is the top level of competition for recreational club cricket in Devon, England. The league was founded in 1972, and since 2000 it has been a designated ECB Premier League.[1]

The 1st XI league consists of a Premier division of 10 teams, and 6 feeder divisions lettered A-F which are all county wide. The 2nd XI competition (which includes 3rd XI teams from some clubs) consists of a Premier division, 3 county wide divisions lettered A-C, and 4 divisions lettered D & E that are also split into East and West sections.[2]

Prior to the 2013 season, it was possible to obtain a draw in a game if the side batting second was not bowled out, but since then each innings in a match is limited to a number of overs (which varies depending on the division) and the team with the higher total from their allotted overs wins.

The Premier Division teams for 2018 are: Bovey Tracey, Bradninch, Exeter, Exmouth, Hatherleigh, Heathcoat, North Devon, Plymouth, Sandford, and Sidmouth.
