History

The third tier division was founded in 1973 as 3. deild karla[2] with 11 teams.[3] In 1978 it was rebranded as 2. deild karla. On 13 March 2020, the 2019–20 season was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak in Iceland.[4] The day after, the Icelandic Basketball Federation canceled the rest of the season.[5]
