League 
 
The YCSPL is divided into two sections, the Premier Section and the Senior Section. The Premier Section comprises the Premier and Championship divisions; and the Senior Section comprises Divisions One to Division Nine. All eleven divisions play a league programme of between 40- and 50-over games, mainly on Saturdays, for their divisional championships. There is promotion and relegation throughout the whole league. The winners of the Premier division go forward to represent the League in the White Rose Yorkshire Premier Leagues championships at the end of each season.
