The Cymru Premier (Welsh: Uwch Gynghrair Cymru), formerly the Welsh Premier League, currently known as the JD Cymru Premier for sponsorship reasons, is the national football league for Wales. It has both professional and semi-professional status clubs and is the highest tier of the Welsh football league system. Prior to 2002, the league was known as the League of Wales (LoW), but changed its name as part of a sponsorship deal to the Welsh Premier League. The league was rebranded as the Cymru Premier for the 2019–20 season.
