The league was launched in 1995 sponsored by the local federation (Andorran Football Federation) which was created just one year before, in 1994. Until then the clubs played since 1970 an amateur league without a structure or affiliation with any official institution. The league was renamed in 2017 as Lliga Multisegur Assegurances for sponsorship reasons.
