# Welsh Football League First Division

La Welsh Football League First Division, llamada Nathanielcars.co.uk Welsh League First Division, era la liga de fútbol del sur de Gales que conformaba la segunda categoría de fútbol en el país junto a la Cymru Alliance.

## Historia

La liga fue creada en el año 1904 como la liga de primera división de Gales, y también fue conocida como la Rhymney Valley League y Glamorgan League hasta 1912.

La liga ha cambiado de nombre en varias ocasiones y en el año 1992 pasó a ser una de las dos ligas de segunda categoría por debajo de la Premier League de Gales.

La liga desaparece en el año 2019 para dar paso a la FAW Championship South & Mid como la nueva segunda categoría nacional para los equipos del sur de Gales. La última temporada de la liga será la de 2019/20 como liga de transición de tercera división ya que se tiene previsto que en la temporada 2020/21 la Liga Uno FAW será la nueva tercera división de Gales.

## Sistema de competencia

En la liga participaban 16 equipos de sur de Gales, los cuales se enfrentaban todos contra todos a dos vueltas, en donde el campeón lograba el ascenso a la Premier League de Gales, mientras los dos últimos lugares descendían a la tercera categoría.
