Format and teams
The series was formed in response to an interest in the formation of a potential League1 Atlantic division that would form part of League1 Canada.[1] Three clubs, one from each Maritime province, participated in the inaugural 2023 edition of the men's and women's tournaments, which were played over three weekends and each culminated in a final.[2][3] The HFX Wanderers initially intended to field teams in the 2024 edition,[4] however, they ultimately did not.
In May 2024, it was announced that the competition would return for the 2024 season, but solely as a women's competition. Two clubs would return from 2023, while Suburban FC was replaced by United Dartmouth FC.[5]
