Overview

Between 1915 and 1919 competitive football was suspended in England. Many footballers signed up to fight in the war and as a result many teams were depleted, and fielded guest players instead. The Football League and FA Cup were suspended and in their place regional league competitions were set up; appearances in these tournaments do not count in players' official records.

Honours

There were six regional leagues. The Lancashire and Midland Sections of the Football League were split into a principal tournament, consisting of a single league, and then a subsidiary tournament of four groups.

Competition	Principal Tournament winner	Subsidiary Tournament winner
Football League (Lancashire Section)	Everton	Blackpool (Group A) Oldham Athletic (Group B) Manchester City (Group C) Liverpool (Group D)
Football League (Midland Section)	Nottingham Forest	Sheffield United (Group A) Birmingham (Group B) Bradford Park Avenue (Group C) Hull City (Group D)
