The Loughborough & District League was formed in 1897, at the time when there was already a junior league serving the Loughborough area (the North Leicestershire League which was formed a year earlier). The Loughborough & District League quickly took over as one of the top junior leagues in the county, regularly promoting teams to the Leicestershire Senior League.
Loughborough & District League Winners and Runners-Up
After two seasons, the League was split into two Divisions.
Division I Winners and Runners-Up
Season | Winner | Runner-Up |
Whitwick White Cross | Hathern Victoria | |
Hathern Victoria | Loughborough Corinthians |
Division II Winners and Runners-Up
Season | Winner | Runner-Up |

The number of divisions grew to up to three but a decline set in during the 1920’s. Two events saw the demise of this league, the first being the creation of the Loughborough & District Amateur Football Alliance in 1931-32, and the reforming of the Leicestershire Senior League in 1934-35, both of which saw teams move from the Loughborough & District Amateur League.
