The Elven Premier League or Premiership as it called locally, is the top tier of domestic football in Valanora. It is governed by the Valanora Sporting Council and directed by the Valanora Footballing Association. In it's modern incantation, it incorporates the islands of Capri and Vyinta as well as the mainland of Valanora. Before the last reformation of the league pyramid, Vyinta's clubs played in their own separate league and were awarded provisional place in a UICA competition if they won the according playoff(s).

History
The Premiership was formed after the clubs of the former Elven First Division left the league en masse and formed their own league. With the choice of joining the league or having no one to play with, Gladerial United was forced to join, the club whose success and monopoly over the league had forced the clubs actions. At the time of its forming, the Premiership was the top tier of a three tier, thirty-two team pyramid, that has since grown into the pyramid's size today.

International Qualification
The champion of the league and the team that finishes second automatically qualify for the Champions' Cup, while the third and fourth place team automatically qualify for the Globe Cup. For the third allocation spot, the result of the Silver Cup determines who gets it. If the winner of the Silver Cup has already qualified for an international competition, then the fifth place team in the table usually gets the final slot, otherwise the winner of the Silver Cup is awarded that slot. However it has been known to happen on occasion that the runner up of the Silver Cup, if not already qualified themselves, are awarded the slot, or if the winner of the Silver Cup is not in the Premiership. In addition, the champion of the league qualifies for AOCL.
