Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, all Azerbaijan clubs of the former Soviet Premier Division and Soviet First Division conformed a single Azerbaijan Premier League, which meant that the new second tier of Azerbaijan football would remain regionalized. For the first two seasons three regional groups conformed the second tier, until in 1994 the single table in use today began to be used.
The twelve teams competing in the 2009-10 season are:
| Year | Winner | Runner-up |
| 2007-2008 | MOIK Baku | Bakili Baku |
| 2008-2009 | ABN Bärdä | FK Shahdag |
