Although the league is affiliated with the English FA, it does not form a part of the English football league system.[2]

Each year, the league champion plays the champions of Guernsey's Priaulx League for the Upton Park Trophy.[3]

History

Originally, the Jersey Football Combination consisted of five divisions, with the Premiership and Championship open to first teams, with separate leagues for reserve sides.[4]

However, from the start of the 2015-16 season all first-team sides play in the Premiership, with a mid-season split into two divisions.[5]

However, after one season this was scrapped and the format changed again. From the 2016-17 season onwards the top 8 teams play in the Premiership and the other 7 teams play in the Championship.[6]

The Jersey Football Combination also selects a side to play in the FA Inter-League Cup. In 2012, the Jersey team qualified for the 2013 UEFA Regions' Cup. where they were eliminated in the group stage.[7]

Clubs

At the beginning of the 2018-19 season there were 7 teams playing in the Jersey Premiership and 6 teams in the Jersey Championship.[8]
