The First Football League
The first football league competition in the world was the English Football League formed in 1888. First winners were Preston North End.
In 1992 the top football clubs broke away to form their own league called the FA Premier League.
Today, the Football League itself has 3 leagues or divisions; the Championship, Division 1 and Division 2.
So England now has a total of 4 professional leagues, with teams moving up (promotion) or down (relegation) through the leagues depending on their points tally at the end of each season.
The Oldest Football Club in the World
The oldest "football" club is Dublin University Football Club founded in 1854. However, the club now plays Rugby Union, not football.
Sheffield Football Club, founded in 1857, is recognised by both the English FA and FIFA as being the oldest football club in the world still playing Association Football. They play in the Northern Premier League Division 1 South.
But, there is evidence of a "football club" in Edinburgh, Scotland between 1824 and 1841. Documents refer to the "Foot Ball Club" and it's rules. The club has been reformed as "The Foot Ball Club of Edinburgh".
