Since it was formed in 1999 the league has been a designated ECB Premier League.[https://www.ecb.co.uk/play/competitive ECB Premier Leagues] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220031258/http://www.ecb.co.uk/news/non-first-class/premier-leagues |date=2014-12-20 }}. Retrieved 2016-06-15. It has three feeder leagues: the Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Premier League,{{cite web|url=https://cambhuntpremierleague.play-cricket.com/home |title=Cambridgeshire & Huntingdonshire Premier League |website=cambhuntpremierleague.play-cricket.com |accessdate=2022-01-23 |date= |publisher=Cambridgeshire & Huntingdonshire Premier League }} the Norfolk Cricket Alliance,{{cite web|url=https://norfolkca.play-cricket.com/home |title=Norfolk Cricket Alliance |website=norfolkca.play-cricket.com |accessdate=2022-01-23 |date= |publisher=Norfolk Cricket Alliance }} and the Two Counties Cricket Championship (which covers Suffolk and the north of Essex).{{cite web|url=https://twocounties.play-cricket.com/home |title=Two Counties Cricket Championship |website=twocounties.play-cricket.com |accessdate=2022-01-23 |date= |publisher=Two Counties Cricket Championship }} The winners of these three leagues are eligible for promotion to the East Anglian Premier Cricket League. Should more than one of them wish to join the league in the same season then a playoff is held.{{cite web|url=https://eapcl.play-cricket.com/home |title=East Anglian Premier Cricket League |website=eapcl.play-cricket.com |accessdate=2022-01-23 |date= |publisher=East Anglian Premier Cricket League }}

The 2020 competition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A replacement competition was organised for the later part of the season when cricket again became possible, but with the winners not to be regarded as official league champions.
