The '''CMS Yorkshire League''' was a series of [[rugby league]] divisions in the traditional county of Yorkshire.

The league was run by the [[British Amateur Rugby League Association]] (BARLA). Teams from the Yorkshire league could apply for election to the [[National Conference League]] if they meet minimum criteria.

==History==

Following the formation of [[British Amateur Rugby League Association]] in 1973, local District Leagues got together and pooled their resources. The Yorkshire league was formed by a merger of Castleford, Heavy Woollen, Leeds, Wakefield and York districts. There was also a West Yorkshire Sunday league formed by Castleford, Doncaster, Heavy Woollen and Leeds districts. This league became the Yorkshire Sunday League in 1994-95 before going defunct after 1995-96.

In 2012 the CMS Yorkshire league folded and all remaining teams were accepted by the [[Pennine League]].
