The Ghana Premier League was officially formed in 1956 after the last Gold Coast Club Competition was held in 1953–54, the league is organized by the Ghana Football Association and was ranked as the 11th best league in Africa by the IFFHS from 2001–2010.

It has been dominated by Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak. The 3 bottom teams are relegated at the end of the season and placed in each zone of the Ghana Division One League.
