The league was created in 1920 as the original four district leagues of the Polish Football Union and is considered a continuation of the Austrian Football Championship of Galicia in 1913-1914.

The competitions were conducted on territory of modern West Ukraine which during the World War II was annexed by the Soviet Union and added to the Soviet Ukraine (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic). The Lwów District League is considered to be a football precursor of the Lviv Oblast Football Federation championship in the modern Ukraine and the Subcarpathia Regional Division of the Polish Fifth League.

Winners of the league qualified to all-Polish championship among winners of all district leagues in Poland. In 1927 number of better Polish clubs organized all-Polish National League which was a predecessor of the today's Ekstraklasa. At the same time winners of the district league since then qualified to regional play-offs, a winner of which was advancing to the newly formed National League.

In 1928 and 1929 the Lwów District League temporarily administered the regional football competitions in Wołyń Voivodeship as Wołyń subgroup, which in 1930 officially formed the Wołyń District League.
