NB: Hoppers FC (Green Bay, founded 1969) never won the league
(up to and including the 2012/13 season)
[*1] Arsenal renamed Pan Am Jets between 1962 and 1965; in 1962
Arsenal won the league ahead of Atomic and Empire; Empire had
beaten Atomic 2-1 in their first ever top level match that
season (see note [*5]); Empire finished 4th in 1964
[*2] league ended in a 3-way tie between Antigua Sugar Factory
(A.S.F.), Rangers (from Church Lane) and Empire, with Empire
having the best goal record; after a playoff between the
three teams ended in another dead-heat, Rangers refused to
play Empire in a second playoff and the title was not awarded
[*3] in 1974/75 Empire won the league-and-cup double, the first
club on Antigua to achieve this feat
[*4] Empire finished runners-up 1983, losing out to Lion Hill Spliff
on goal difference
[*5] Empire's 13 titles are the record for Antigua; Empire were
formed in 1962 when the existing club Realto Sports Club
(founded in the 1950s) changed name to Empire (after the
Empire Grocery "on the Bridge"); they were first relegated in
1984 but immediately returned after winning promotion in 1985
[*6] SAP abbreviates Spirit, Attitude & Performance; the club
won the First Division on two occasions as well (1989/90
and 1997/98) and two FA Cups (2004/05 and 2008/09)
[*7] the club called Liberta FC which won two championships in
the late 1980s are apparently not related to the current
Liberta SC which were founded on Jan 29, 1991
