The Sussex Cricket League is the top level of competition for recreational club cricket in Sussex, England, and since 1999 the Premier Division has been a designated ECB Premier League.[1] The league has eight divisions, four for 1st XI sides and four for 2nd XI sides. It formerly had a division for 3rd XI sides.
