The Virginia League was a Class D minor baseball league based in Virginia that played in 1900. It was the second league to go by that name, succeeding the first which lasted from 1894 to 1896.
It was composed entirely of teams from Virginia. The six-team league consisted of the Norfolk Mary Janes, Portsmouth Pirates, Newport News Shipbuilders and Richmond Colts, as well as teams in Hopewell and Petersburg.
In June, both Petersburg and Richmond disbanded.[1] Following the 1900 season, the league became the Virginia-North Carolina League.
