The Appalachian League is a Rookie-class Minor League that began play in 1937 with one year of inactivity in 1956. From 1937 to 1962, it was Class D League. Teams are located in the Appalachia n Virginia , North Carolina , West Virginia and Tennessee region. The league currently operates as a two division, nine team circuit. The league's season starts in June, after Major League teams have signed players that they selected in the annual amateur Draft , and ends in September.

Earlier incarnations of the league operated (more centrally around Tennessee than later on) from 1911 to 1914 and 1921 to 1925 at the Class D level.
