The association of municipalities borders in the north on the Comarca Noguera, in the east on Segarra, in the south on Conca de Barberà and Garrigues and in the west on Pla d'Urgell. Together with the comarcas Garrigues , Noguera , Segarra , Segrià and Pla d'Urgell , the region forms the Ponent territory .

Urgell lies in the center of a fertile plateau, the Central Catalan Depression.

The area is crossed by artificial irrigation canals ( Canal d'Urgell ). South of the Riu Corb , the landscape is mountainous, with peaks over 600 m high.
