History

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]

Format

As of the 2024/25 season, the National Football League is contested by 11 teams. Each team plays home and away against teams against all other teams in the league for a total of 20 fixtures each season. The top four finishing clubs qualify for next season's President's Cup, which is held before the start of next season. [3]
