In 1892 civilians founded the “Prince of Wales FC”, one of the peninsula's first non-military football clubs at the time. Two more clubs were founded a year later in 1893: Gibraltar FC and Jubilee FC The interest in football was so great that the Gibraltar Football Association was founded in 1895 and the first national football competition, the Merchants Cup , was held that same year .
In 1907 the Gibraltar Football Ligue was officially founded. Prince of Wales started as one of the eight teams in the new league, having won unofficial championships several times in previous years.
