In this paper we establish a Liouville type theorem for an integral system on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}_+^{n}$ \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u(y)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}_+}\frac{f(v(x))}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}dx,&\quad y\in\partial\mathbb{R}^{n}_+,\\ v(x)=\int_{\partial\mathbb{R}^{n}_+}\frac{g(u(y))}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}dy,&\quad x\in\mathbb{R}_+^{n}. \end{cases} \end{equation*} This integral system arises from the Euler-Lagrange equation corresponding to Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on the upper half space. Under natural structure conditions on $f$ and $g$, we classify positive solutions to the above system basing on the method of moving sphere in integral forms and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on the upper half space.
Keywords: Liouville type theorem, method of moving sphere., Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, integral system.
