The Mercury League was the only football league in Mercury between 2010 and 2011, run by the MeFA. The league involved six teams, each scheduled to play 20 games (four times against each team), however, after the third fixture was played, the fixture list was lost, meaning the league had to be cancelled. In 2011, it was announced that the league would be reformed as Mercury's second division, containing six teams playing ten games, with the top two teams being promoted to the Four Nations league.

History

The Mercury League was founded in 2010 with six teams. The season continued for three rounds of fixtures, before the fixture list was lost. The competition was replaced by a knockout cup for the remainder of the season.

In the second season, the clubs competing in the original Mercury League moved into the Four Nations league system, and were replaced by six new teams in the Mercury League. The competition was won by Mercury Armed Forces FC.

2012 Changes

For the 2012 season, the Four Nations teams will once again participate in the Mercury League. The league will be contested over two divisions, the Premier League and the Second League, containing 8 teams each, playing 14 games. The top two teams in the Premier League will qualify for the EMUFA Champions' League. The bottom two will be relegated, being replaced by the top two in the Second League.
