U.S. Virgin Islands Championship
There are two football club competitions running in US Virgin Islands: the St Croix Soccer League and the St Thomas League. The champion of the US Virgin Islands is decided in a knockout tournament between the best two teams of each league. 9,000 capacity Lionel Roberts Park is one of the venues.
The winner and the runner-up of the league starts the qualifications for the CONCACAF Champions Cup from the first round of the CFU Club Championship.
The 1999/00 championship was presumably the first time an overall title was played for.

Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or islands:
“A hidden strength
Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d Heaths,
Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
