Austrália - Brisbane - Capital League 2

Prior to World War 2, the Brisbane soccer competition irregularly operating a third division when team numbers required it. After the war, the 1947 season was the first to require three divisions. Six teams participated in the 1947 Division 3 competition: Kookaburra (the eventual champions), YMCA reserves, Junction Rangers, Judeans, Caledonians and Merton Rovers reserves.

The third tier of Brisbane soccer continued to be known as Division 3 from 1947 to 1982, with reserve teams from the two top divisions continuing to participate alongside first grade teams of other clubs until the early 1970s. When the Brisbane Premier League was formed in 1983, the Tier 3 league became Division 2. An intermediate league existed at Tier 2 between 1984 and 1986 and the third tier became Amateur Division 1. From 1987 to 1996, Tier 3 was again known as Division 3 before reverting to Amateur Division 1 again between 1997 and 2001, then Division 2 for the 2002 season. Despite all these changes in divisional name, the division's format remained consistently a 12 team competition from 1977 to 2001.

From 2003 to 2012, the third tier of Brisbane football was known as Premier Division 2, which operated below the Brisbane Premier League and Premier Division 1. It functioned as a 12 team competition from 2003 to 2010, expanded to 14 teams for season 2011 only, then reverted to 12 teams again in 2012.

Since being rebranded Capital League 2 in 2013 following a restructure of Football Brisbane competitions, this division has continued in its 12 team format, with 22 rounds of matches played in the regular season to decide the premiers, followed by a finals series involving the top four teams to determine the champions.
