Since 2012 the league has been a designated ECB Premier League, and the league champions qualify to take part in the Yorkshire Championship, together with the winners of the Bradford Premier League, Yorkshire Premier League North, Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League and Huddersfield Premier Cricket League.
The league chose to play an official, if shortened, competition after most ECB Premier Leagues formally cancelled the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is a successful league in the country, in national inter-league competitive cricket, having won the LCC National inter-league competition (latterly known as the Presidents Trophy) on no fewer than 12 occasions. The League hold the record for the longest sequence of consecutive titles (7 from 1988 to 1994) and the longest sequence of consecutive victories (36). Within that competition they hold the record for the highest total recorded (425–6 in 45 overs v the NEPL at Marske in 2010). In 2018 Richmondshire Cricket Club won the ECB National Club Championship.
