Folding

The league folded in 2007.

In 2008, the league was replaced as the highest level football league in the country by the Puerto Rico Soccer League, which was created by the Puerto Rican Football Federation to unify the domestic football scene, but only managed to get the attention of Liga Mayor teams, whilst most teams chose to stay in La Liga Premier, another amateur league.
