British Virgin Islands - List of Champions

The 2009/10 league apparently was the first with 'equal rights', with 3 clubs from Tortola and 5 from Virgin Gorda; all regular season matches were played on Virgin Gorda and the championship playoff on Tortola. In 2010/11, matches during the regular season were held on both islands (and no playoff was organised).

In 1999, a club from Virgin Gorda joined the Tortola league for the first time. The Tortola league was not played after the abandonment of the 2005 season; between 2006 and 2008 there only was a league on Virgin Gorda.

    they had ended a 'eight-year reign' of Rangers; after their 2007
    championship, Rangers were reported to have won 10 of the 11 last
    championships; this is peculiar as they were not listed among the
    1998 or 1999 participants and the 1998 winners United Kickers
    finished runners-up behind Rangers in 2000 so cannot be a former
    name of the club.
