History

From 2008 until 2018, reserve team football in Gibraltar had been run under the Gibraltar Reserves Division. In this league, there were no restrictions on what players could participate, and some clubs would often field numerous members of the first team in fixtures. However, on 5 June 2018, the Gibraltar Football Association announced sweeping changes to the league structure, introducing the Intermediate League. In the new league, teams can register teams of up to 18 players, of which a minimum of 13 must be eligible for the

and a maximum of 5 players can be over the age of 23. Soon after the launch of the league, it was announced that clubs in the league will be subject to a salary cap, in order to prevent larger teams from hoarding players. The first team to formally announce their intention to join the Intermediate League was Gibraltar Phoenix, signing 10 players for the new team on 10 June and appointing former Gibraltar under-19 and Mons Calpe manager Terrence Jolley. However, Phoenix would fold entirely the following season, while St Joseph's withdrew their side mid-season. These sides were replaced by new U23 sides from Bruno's Magpies and College 1975, while Hound Dogs were granted permission to play in the league as a senior side. In 2020, Boca Gibraltar also formed an U23 team, however they never competed in the league due to the club having its domestic license revoked. Manchester 62 also disbanded its Intermediate team in 2020, replaced by the returning St Joseph's.
