The National Lacrosse Association was a professional box lacrosse league that operated in 1968–1969 with teams from both the United States and Canada.
Due to poor attendance, the league folded in March 1969.[1] After the folding, two teams (the Maple Leafs and Peterborough Lakers) joined the ill-fated Eastern Professional Lacrosse League which went defunct after one season. The NLA was the first attempt at a professional box lacrosse league in history. After cessation in 1969, the next popular pro lacrosse league would be the National Lacrosse League (1974–75).
