  • The United Soccer Leagues First Division (often referred to as simply, USL-1) is a professional men's soccer league in North America. It is the second tier of soccer in the United States and Canada league pyramid behind Major League Soccer. It is managed by the United Soccer Leagues (USL). It was known as the A-League until 2004, having formed from teams from the original A-League. Unlike most other nations, there is currently no system of merit-based promotion and relegation in the American and Canadian pyramids, meaning that the champions of USL-1 cannot move up to Major League Soccer and, similarly, the worst teams in MLS are not in danger of being demoted to USL-1. However, some USL-1 teams have in the past chosen to take voluntary relegation to a lower level of the USL system, often to reduce operating costs, while teams have also decided to move up to USL-1 after finding success at the lower levels.
  • Die United Soccer Leagues First Division (oft kurz als USL-1 bezeichnet) ist eine professionelle Fußballliga in Nordamerika. Sie ist nach der Major League Soccer die zweithöchste Spielklasse in den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada und untersteht der Verwaltung der United Soccer Leagues (USL). Bis 2004 wurden die Spiele unter dem Namen A-League ausgetragen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Ländern gibt es im amerikanischen Ligensystem keinen Aufstieg oder Abstieg von Mannschaften, da dieses System nicht zu der Denkweise über Sport bei den meisten Amerikanern zählt und auch die finanziellen Möglichkeiten der einzelnen Teams für landesweite Reisen nicht gegeben sind.
  • La United Soccer Leagues First Division (en español Primera División de Ligas Unidas de Fútbol) es un torneo de fútbol en Estados Unidos y Canadá. En Estados Unidos y Canadá es el torneo de segunda división, por debajo de la Major League Soccer. Al no estar directamente vinculado con ella no hay sistema de ascenso y descenso. Se prevé implementarlo para luego del año 2012 (la USL sera absorbida y transformada en una liga de segunda division).
  • United Soccer Leagues First Division (lyh. USL-1) on Yhdysvaltain ja Kanadan jalkapalloilun toiseksi korkein sarjataso Major League Soccerin jälkeen. Sarjaa ylläpitää United Soccer Leagues. Vuoteen 2004 asti sarja tunnettiin nimellä A-League. Eniten mestaruuksia, neljä kappaletta, on voittanut kaudeksi 2009 korkeimmalle sarjatasolle siirtynyt Seattle Sounders.
  • La Première division de la United Soccer Leagues est un championnat professionnel nord-américain de football (soccer). Elle est le deuxième niveau de la pyramide du football en Amérique du nord, derrière la Major League Soccer. Créée en 1997, elle fut connue sous le nom de A-League jusqu'en 2004. Désormais, ce qu'on appelle A-League est le championnat d'Australie de football. Contrairement à ce qui se passe en Europe, il n'existe pas de système de promotion et relégation. Suite à la saison régulière des playoff sont organisé entre les meilleurs clubs de la saison. Enfin, le nombre d'équipes est variable suivant les années. En 2009 le championnat regroupe 11 clubs: 8 aux États-Unis, 2 au Canada et un sur l'île de Porto Rico.
  • Lo United Soccer Leagues First Division, per brevità chiamata USL First Division o anche USL-1 è - nonostante il nome - il campionato di seconda divisione calcistica nordamericano, il cui rango è immediatamente inferiore alla Major League. La USL-1 è equivalente al Football League Championship in Inghilterra o alla serie B in Italia. È organizzato dalla United Soccer Leagues in affiliazione con le federazioni calcistiche canadese, statunitense, di Bermuda e di Porto Rico, e ha cadenza annuale. Sebbene sia previsto il meccanismo di promozione / retrocessione (le squadre promosse hanno diritto ad accedere alla Major League e quelle retrocesse dovrebbero scendere nella USL Second Division), i parametri economici e logistici richiesti per figurare in un campionato rendono spesso economicamente svantaggiosa la militanza in una serie superiore, per cui di fatto il meccanismo di promozione è inutilizzato. Nessuna squadra vincitrice della USL-1, infatti, ha mai ritenuto conveniente far valere il diritto di militare nella Major League. La squadra campione uscente è il Seattle Sounders, storica compagine già militante nella scomparsa North American Soccer League, che ha vinto il titolo nella stagione 2007; anche i vincitori dell’anno precedente, i Vancouver Whitecaps, sono una delle superstiti della NASL.
  • De United Soccer Leagues First Division (kortweg USL First Division of USL-1) is een professionele voetbalcompetitie in de Verenigde Staten. Het is de tweede hoogste klasse. De competitie begon in 1997 als A-League onder auspiciën van de United Soccer Leagues. De originele A-League (voorheen American Professional Soccer League) die bestond tussen 1990 en 1996 was toen gefuseerd met de Select League van de USL. In 2005 wordt de naam officieel USL First Division.
