Originally, there were two separate leagues in the British Virgin Islands, one located in Virgin Gorda and the other in Tortola.[1] In 2009, the two leagues merged creating the BVIFA National Football League. The first season in 2009-10 was contested by 8 teams with the top 4 contesting for playoffs to decide the league winner. The inaugural champions of the league were Islanders FC.[2]
