The 2018–19 Gibraltar Intermediate League is the first season of under-23 football in Gibraltar, after reforms to reserve team football in June 2018.^[1] The league is expected to be contested by ten clubs, and began on 21 August 2018 despite initially being set to begin on 13 August.

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]
