The English Core Cities Group is an association of eight large regional cities in England:
- Birmingham (region of West Midlands)
- Bristol (South West England)
- Leeds (Yorkshire and the Humber)
- Liverpool (North West England)
- Manchester (North West England)
- Newcastle upon Tyne (North East England)
- Nottingham (East Midlands)
- Sheffield (Yorkshire and the Humber)
The group was established in 1995 as a partnership of seven cities and was joined by Nottingham in 2001. Sheffield is designated the lead partner.
The cities have come together to promote their common interests as the major cities in the English regions outside London. No cities from South East England or the East of England, which surround Greater London, are represented. The cities are also motivated by the need to promote their economies, especially in the context of the European Union. They have no special status under English local government law.
The eight city councils are also members of the pan-European Eurocities association, of which Birmingham City Council acts as the secretariat.
