The Southern League is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from the South West, South Central and Midlands of England and South Wales. Together with the Isthmian League and the Northern Premier League it forms level 7 � 8 of the English football league system.

The structure of the Southern League has changed several times since its formation in 1894, and currently there are 66 clubs which are divided into three divisions. The Premier Division is at Level 3 of the National League System (NLS), and is a feeder division, mainly to the Conference South but also to the Conference North. Feeding the Premier Division are two regional divisions, Division One South & West and Division One Central, which are at Level 4 of the NLS. These divisions are in turn fed by various regional leagues.

As of 1 July 2009 the Southern League is known as the Zamaretto Football League, following a sponsorship deal with ICB Ltd. In addition, the League Cup competition will be known as the Red Insure Cup.
