The Puerto Rico Soccer League or PRSL was an association football league in Puerto Rico. It was the first unified football league in the island's history, and had a total of six teams for the 2011 season. Association football had been growing in popularity in recent years, and this was an attempt to further develop the game on the island. The previous highest league in the country was the Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol de Puerto Rico. The league folded in 2011 and was replaced by the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Puerto Rico, which is supposed to start in 2013.
