The Premier League (officially known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons, previously known as The Premiership), is a professional league competition for football clubs located at the top echelon of the English football league system (above The Football League). It is the world's most watched sporting league, and the most lucrative football league. [1]. The Premier League is currently third in the UEFA rankings of European leagues based on their performances in European competitions over a five-year period, behind Serie A in second and La Liga in first (the Premier League will move ahead of Serie A after the new rankings are calculated in 2007).
The FA Premier League (as it was then known) was formed in 1992 from the clubs in the top division of The Football League, and is currently contested by twenty clubs. In a total of fifteen seasons, the title has been won by only four teams: Manchester United (nine times), Arsenal (three times), Chelsea (twice) and Blackburn Rovers (once). The current Premier League champions are Manchester United F.C., who won the title with two games remaining of the 2006–07 season.
The FA Women's Premier League, more specifically the National Division, is the Premiership's female counterpart, as most of its clubs are affiliated with Premiership and Football League sides; however, the league is semi-professional and has a much lower profile than the men's game.
