The Four Nations Chess League (4NCL) is a UK-based chess organization that runs major over-the-board competitions across the British Isles. It brings together teams and players from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Today, it is best known for high-quality weekend events hosted at hotel venues.
Alongside its flagship team league season, 4NCL also organizes FIDE-rated congresses and festivals. In addition, it runs the 4NCL Easter Congress, including the 6th 4NCL Easter Congress in 2026. Moreover, these events are structured with clear sections, published regulations, and consistent tournament conditions.
Furthermore, 4NCL supports broader chess development through its junior activities and wider tournament calendar. As a result, players can find both elite-level competition and accessible sections for ambitious improvers. At the same time, the organization prioritizes smooth operations and fair-play standards.
