The Cymru Premier, historically known as the Welsh Premier League, is the national top-flight football league of Wales. Founded in 1992, it represents the highest level of the Welsh football league system and is headquartered in Cardiff. The league typically features 12 clubs who first play a double round-robin for 22 matches. The league then splits into a Championship Conference and a Relegation Conference for a further ten matches, determining the European qualifiers and the relegated team. The league champion earns a spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. While the domestic league operates in the shadow of the English pyramid, it has grown in professionalism and is dominated by clubs like The New Saints, who have built a modern dynasty. The league's Player of the Season and Top Scorer awards are key accolades.
