This is a list of English and Welsh cricket leagues recognised and supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board as ECB Premier Leagues, and beneath the League titles are the cricket clubs that are in their top divisions in the 2008 English cricket season. These leagues and clubs are the top echelons of the amateur, recreational game of cricket in England and Wales.

Three non-ECB-affiliated leagues are also appended, the Bradford Cricket League, the Lancashire League and the Central Lancashire League, as their standards of cricket also represent the highest standards in the English (and Welsh) non-first-class game.
