The latest edition of the National Youth League is set to kick off this weekend and will showcase the country’s finest emerging talent.

The National Youth League runs in conjunction with the ISPS Handa Premiership and is competed for by the same 10 clubs.

Auckland City are the defending champions after finishing level on points with crosstown rivals Waitakere United last season but lifting the trophy due to their superior goal difference. The top three was an all-Auckland affair with Eastern Suburbs ending just a point further back.

See below for all the squads for the upcoming National Youth League season.
