Format

The Gibraltar Intermediate League was established by the Gibraltar Football Association in June 2018 as a merger of the pre-existing Reserves Division and Under 18 Division, in order to aid player development on the territory. Competing clubs are required to register a reserve squad of 18 players, of which 13 must be Gibraltarian.[2]

Teams

St Joseph's resigned in December 2018 ahead of their Gibraltar Intermediate Cup tie against Gibraltar Phoenix.
