# 2014–15 South West Peninsula League

The 2014–15 South West Peninsula League season was the eighth in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.

## Premier Division

The Premier Division featured 20 teams, the same as the previous season, after Tavistock were relegated to Division One East, and Liskeard Athletic were relegated to Division One West. Two new clubs joined the league:
* Callington Town, promoted as champions of Division One West.
* Stoke Gabriel, promoted as champions of Division One East.
Only AFC St Austell and Exmouth Town applied to join the Western League Premier Division, with a top three finish also required for promotion. However, Exmouth failed to finish in the top three and St Austell failed the ground grading inspection.
