Group of competing sports teams (6)

I believe the answer is:

league

(Other definitions for league that I've seen before include "Group of clubs; distance" , "Association of sports teams to organise matches" , "Coalition" , "distance at sea" , "Competing group of clubs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
