The association was founded on 9 January 1924 and is the oldest District Football Association in Finland. SPL Vaasa was established 6 days later and SPL Turku on 5 May 1924.

On 31 December 2009 SPL Helsinki had 137 member clubs and 14,034 registered players. The District's mission statement seeks to enable all to enjoy soccer at their respective ability levels and in a variety of roles.
