The North West Counties ABA was formed fifty two years ago. It consists of two divisions; The West Lancs & West Cheshire ABA and also The East Lancs & East Cheshire ABA. The area it encompasses stretches from Carlisle in the north to Crewe in the south.

The North West ABA has been at the forefront of amateur boxing in terms of development and successful athletes since its inception.

The association has the only dedicated amateur boxing development officer in the country, his name is Paul King and he is employed by Liverpool City Council.

The North West Counties ABA in conjunction with Liverpool City Council holds a yearly international festival of amateur boxing. This is the only event of its kind in the country.

The NWCABA has 121 member clubs and over 1200 registered competing boxers, whose ages range from eleven to thirty- five.
