The '''Orange League''' (Japanese: '''オレンジリーグ''' ''Orange League'') is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. It consists of the [[Gym Leaders]] of the [[Orange Crew]].

The Orange League (Japanese: オレンジリーグ Orange League) is the regional Pokémon League of the Orange Archipelago. It consists of four regular Gym Leaders and one Supreme Gym Leader, all of whom form the Orange Crew (Japanese: サザンクロス Southern Cross). It has been established for over 300 years.

The Orange League is perhaps the least conventional of all the existing regional Pokémon Leagues, as it focuses less on Pokémon battling and more on how Trainers interact with their individual Pokémon in many different circumstances. Trainers taking the Orange League challenge are said to be tougher than those in the Indigo League. Competing in the Orange League is different from competing in other Pokémon Leagues: Trainers must earn only four Gym Badges instead of the usual eight. Additionally, there is no Pokémon League Conference.

According to Tracey, young Trainers from the Orange Archipelago typically begin their journey on Tangelo Island and work their way around the islands, winning Badges along the way. The Trainers' final destination is Pummelo Island, where the top Gym Leader in the Orange Crew, called the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader, can be battled. Those who defeat the Supreme Gym Leader in a Full Battle take the title of Honored Trainer*, as well as the coveted Winner's Trophy. A photo featuring the winning Trainer with the trophy on hand and all six Pokémon that have participated in the Full Battle will be kept in the Palace of Victory, together with the footprints of the Trainer and the Pokémon.

The Orange League has only been featured in the anime and in the manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu, as the Orange Archipelago is not accessible in any of the games.
