This season saw the return of the Second Division Cup after stadium renovations saw the tournament scrapped the previous year. The tournament took place during a mid-season break from 17 December 2018 until 9 March 2019. Boca Gibraltar were the reigning champions, earning promotion to the 2018–19 Gibraltar Premier Division.
