The North West Hockey Association runs hockey leagues based in the North West of England. It feeds teams into the Men's and Women's England Hockey Leagues and receives teams from regional and county leagues.

League Structure

The men's and women's leagues both share a similar structure consisting of a Premier Division, and then regional and sub-regional divisions. North West Hockey was created in 2021 as part of England Hockey's "Eight Areas" restructuring of regional leagues.

At a regional level, the North Hockey Association was split and replaced with North West Hockey and Yorkshire and North East Hockey. The North West area covers the following counties:

• Cheshire
• Cumbria
• Greater Manchester
• Lancashire
• Merseyside
