The '''Cymru Alliance League''' (known for sponsorship reasons as Huws Gray Alliance) was a [[association football|football]] league in [[North Wales|north]] and [[Mid Wales|central]] [[Wales]] which formed the second level of the [[Welsh football league system]]. From the 2019/20 season onwards, it was replaced by the [[Cymru North]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://clwbpeldroed.org/2018/11/28/football-association-wales-restructuring-pyramid/ |title = Football Association of Wales outline their plans for Tier Two and Three restructuring|date = 28 November 2018}}</ref>  

If the team which finished top of the league held a Domestic Licence, it could apply for promotion to the [[Welsh Premier League]] and was replaced by one of the bottom two teams in the Welsh Premier League.

If the league champions did not hold a Domestic Licence, then the team which finished second, if in possession of a Domestic Licence, could be promoted instead. The most successful club in the league was [[Caernarfon Town]] with three titles.

The Cymru Alliance also operated the [[Cymru Alliance League Cup]], a knock out competition contested by members of the league

The teams also participated in [[Welsh Cup]], the main Cup competition in [[Wales]].
