The National Lacrosse League (NLL) is the professional league of men's indoor lacrosse in North America. It currently has 11 teams; 8 in the United States and 3 in Canada, with 2 new teams starting in 2007 in Chicago and New York. The differences between indoor lacrosse rules and the rules of box lacrosse, an older game on which indoor lacrosse is based, have decreased over the years; the chief difference now is that indoor lacrosse continues to allow only hollow sticks. Unlike other lacrosse leagues, which play in the summer, the NLL plays its games in the winter. Each year, the playoff teams battle for the Champion's Cup.

The NLL was formed in 1997 from the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL), with the decision to move from league ownership of all teams to individual team ownership. The MILL was created in 1986 as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. The first season started in January 1987 as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. It changed its name to Major Indoor Lacrosse League in 1988, and then to the National Lacrosse League in 1998. Five of the MILL teams played in the NLL in the 1998 season. The National Lacrosse League recognizes the MILL history as its own. The 2005/06 season marked the 20th season of play in the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League/MILL/NLL.

On February 15, 2005 the NLL announced that Activision would produce a NLL video game. The game will probably be released for the 2007 season.
