Founded in 2009, it currently consists of six teams: the Dubai Vipers, the Abu Dhabi Scorpions, the Dubai Mighty Camels, the Abu Dhabi Storms, the Al Ain Theebs, and White Bears Dubai. The Vipers, Scorpions, White Bears and Mighty Camels are composed of expatriate players working in the U.A.E., while the other two clubs consist of mostly Emirati players who form the United Arab Emirates national team.
