Whilst a Cumbria League briefly existed in the early days of the British Amateur Rugby League Association, for most of rugby league's history clubs from Cumberland and Barrow have had separate competitions, with the Barrow-based clubs having increasingly played in the North West Counties and more recently the North West Men's League, leaving the Barrow & District League as primarily a reserve competition.
Whilst the initial competition featured just eight clubs of which only two were from Barrow, the league has gradually expanded up to an 11 team league as more clubs have switched across from the North West Men's League and stepped up from the Cumberland League
