<p>The formation of the Inverness Junior Football Association on 31 January 1888 saw the introduction of the Inverness Junior Cup. After the final in 1888 the association was renamed the North of Scotland Junior Football Association and the competition the <a href="/wiki/North_Caledonian_Cup" title="North Caledonian Cup">North of Scotland Junior Cup</a>. </p><p>The Association's league competition was later introduced in 1896 as the "North of Scotland Junior League" with the initial aim of providing a <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Junior_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Junior League">league</a> format for its junior members and predominantly the "2nd XI" teams from senior <a href="/wiki/Highland_Football_League" title="Highland Football League">Highland Football League</a> clubs. Upon its formation these teams mostly came from the Inverness area. By 1906 though, the Association had welcomed several new member teams from outside the <a href="/wiki/Inverness-shire" title="Inverness-shire">Inverness-shire</a> area, specifically Nairn Thistle and Dingwall Victoria United (later re-formed as <a href="/wiki/Ross_County_F.C." title="Ross County F.C.">Ross County</a>) broadening the coverage of the league across the North. Other clubs from across the Highland counties followed suit, with Muir of Ord and Tore United among those to join. </p><p>In 1935 the league dropped its junior status, possibly due to the Scottish Junior Football Association's objections to Senior clubs involvement, and became known as the North of Scotland "2nd XI" League (it was also known colloquially as either the Highland Reserve League or Highland Alliance, the latter a nod to the southern reserve league the Scottish Football Alliance). It was recognised as a senior football league with teams eligible to apply for Scottish FA membership. </p><p>In 1947–48 season, the league's membership consisted of a record 26 clubs, split into a three-division regional set-up with the top clubs in each section playing off for the Championship. In 1948 it reverted to a single division with a much reduced membership. </p><p>By the late 1960s/early 1970s, the <a href="/wiki/Highland_Football_League" title="Highland Football League">Highland League</a> reserve teams which had dominated the league gradually dropped out of contention, with most finding that it was not financially viable to run "2nd XI" or reserve teams at a senior level. At the same time, the league began to see an influx of senior football teams joining from the surrounding counties of Easter Ross, Caithness and Sutherland. </p><p>By the 1980s, the league had representation from teams all across the North, including as far as <a href="/wiki/Fort_William_F.C." title="Fort William F.C.">Fort William</a>. In a bid to shake off the "2nd XI" tag (and the inference of being "second best" to the Highland League) the member clubs in the league took the decision to rename the league at the 1984 <a href="/wiki/Annual_general_meeting" title="Annual general meeting">annual general meeting</a> of the North of Scotland 2nd XI Football Association in Bonar Bridge, where teams voted unanimously to change the name of the association to the North Caledonian Football Association and the name of the league competition to the North Caledonian Football League. </p><p>In 2020, it was announced that the North Caledonian League was working with the Highland League and North Region Junior FA to form a sixth tier of the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_football_league_system" title="Scottish football league system">Scottish football league system</a> for the far north of the country, with a view to feeding eligible clubs via promotion into the <a href="/wiki/Highland_Football_League" title="Highland Football League">Highland League</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was also announced, along with 4 teams being added to the ranks (2 of which are returning sides) that the league would be temporarily split into two divisions. </p><p>In April 2021, it was announced that subject to SFA approval, the North Caledonian League would be joined at Tier 6 by the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Junior_Football_North_Super_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Junior Football North Super League">North Super League</a> and a rebranded Midlands League (the remaining <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Junior_Football_Association,_East_Region" title="Scottish Junior Football Association, East Region">Junior East Region</a> clubs that play in Tayside) to form a fully-integrated tier below the Highland League from the <a href="/wiki/2021%E2%80%9322_North_Caledonian_Football_League" title="2021–22 North Caledonian Football League">2021-22 season</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The leagues at that level entered the Scottish pyramid later in July.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In June 2022, it was announced that the winner of the league, no matter whether they were SFA Licensed or not, would qualify directly to the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Cup" title="Scottish Cup">Scottish Cup preliminary round</a>, starting with <a href="/wiki/Invergordon_F.C." title="Invergordon F.C.">Invergordon</a>, who won the <a href="/wiki/2021%E2%80%9322_North_Caledonian_Football_League" title="2021–22 North Caledonian Football League">2021-22 season</a>.
