The NCFL consists of 36 clubs divided into three conferences of 12 teams each. Each association is divided into three divisions of four clubs each.

Every NCFL team is based in the {{wp|contiguous United States}}. Although pre-season games have been played abroad, mostly in the {{wp|Central American Federation}}, {{wp|Yucatan}}, and the {{wp|Dominican Republic}}.  
Most NCFL teams are located in the {{wp|United States}} with 37 teams, {{wp|Mexico}} with 7 teams, {{wp|Baja California|Baja}}, {{wp|Cuba}}, {{wp|Guatemala}}, and {{wp|Yucatan}} with one each. The NCFL has played pre-season and regular season games in other countries as well.


The 36 teams are organized into nine geographic divisions of four teams each. These divisions are further organized into three associations, the North American Football Association and the National Football Association. The three-conference structure has its origins in a time when major American professional football was organized into three independent leagues, the National Central Football League and its younger rival, the National Football League, with the International Football League appearing in 1974. The NCFL and the NFL merged in 1970, adopting the older league's name and reorganizing slightly to ensure the same number of teams in both conferences. The same would occur between the NCFL and the IFL in 1974.

The National Central Football League (NCFL) is a professional Central Football league that consists of 48 teams, divided equally between the North American Football Association (NAFA) and the National Football Association (NFA), and the International Football Association (IFA). The NCFL is one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and the highest professional level of Central football in the world.

Each NCFL season begins with a three-week preseason in August, followed by the 20-week regular season]] which runs from early September to early January, with each team playing 18 games and having two bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, five teams from each conference (four division winners and one wild card team, along with an extra wildcard) advance to the playoffs for a total of 16 teams, a single-elimination tournament that culminates in the Orange Cup, which is contested in February and is played between the two best Association teams.

History

Teams

The NCFL consists of 48 clubs divided into three conferences of 16 teams each. Each association is divided into four divisions of four clubs each. During the regular season, each team is allowed a maximum of 60 players on its roster; only 53 of these may be active (eligible to play) on game days.

Most NCFL teams are located in the United States with 37 teams, Mexico with 7 teams, Baja, Cuba, Guatemala, and Yucatan with one each. The NCFL has played pre-season and regular season games in other countries as well.

The 48 teams are organized into twelve geographic divisions of four teams each. These divisions are further organized into three associations, the North American Football Association, the National Football Association, and the International Football Association. The three-conference structure has its origins in a time when major professional central football was organized into three independent leagues, the National Central Football League and its younger rival, the National Football League, with the International Football League appearing in 1974. The NCFL and the NFL merged in 1970, adopting the older league's name and reorganizing slightly to ensure the same number of teams in both conferences. The same would occur between the NCFL and the IFL in 1974.
