1989–90 Northern Premier League

The 1989–90 Northern Premier League season was the 22nd in the history of the Northern Premier League, a football competition in England. Teams were divided into two divisions: the Premier and the First. It was known as the HFS Loans League for sponsorship reasons.

Premier Division
The Premier Division featured two new teams:


 * Colne Dynamoes promoted as champions from Division One
 * Bishop Auckland promoted as runners up from Division One

Division One
The Division One featured three new teams:


 * Worksop Town relegated from Premier Division
 * Rossendale United promoted as champions of the NWCFL Division One
 * Emley promoted as champions of the NCEL Premier Division

Promotion and relegation
In the twenty-second season of the Northern Premier League Colne Dynamoes should have been promoted as champions, but folded at the end of the season, so 2nd placed Gateshead took their place in the Football Conference while relegated Chorley took Gateshead's place. Meanwhile, Caernarfon Town and Rhyl were relegated; these two sides were replaced by First Division winners Leek Town and second placed Droylsden. Eastwood Hanley and Penrith left the First Division at the end of the season and were replaced by newly admitted Bridlington Town and Warrington Town.
