The North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League, commonly abbreviated to NYSD, is the top-level competition for recreational club cricket in the north of Yorkshire and south of Durham, England. The league was founded as long ago as 1892, the first competition was held in the following year.

Since 2012 the league has been a designated ECB Premier League, and since 2016 the league's leading Yorkshire club qualifies to take part in the Yorkshire Championship, together with the winners of the Bradford Premier League, Yorkshire Premier League North, and Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier 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.
