Promotion was not regular until 2007-08 due to the prevalence of reserve teams in the division. As of the 2016–17 season, league champions are automatically promoted, and the runners up enter a play-off with the second-from-bottom team in the Gibraltar Premier Division. However, in the 2014–15 season, the top two teams were automatically promoted with no relegation, due to the Premier Division expanding to 10 teams for the 2015–16 season onward. Until 2008, a Third Division also operated in which teams were regularly promoted and relegated between the two divisions.

In 2019 the league merged with the Gibraltar Premier Division to form the Gibraltar National League, ending 110 years of second division football on the Rock.
