. The league was once known as the 3. deild but since 2005, because the top division was renamed Formuladeildin for sponsorship reasons and the second division was renamed 1. deild, the third tier was renamed 2. deild to represent the fact it was the league below 1. deild and the league above the newly renamed 3. deild.
It currently has 10 participating teams. At the end of each season, two teams are relegated and two promoted from what is now the fourth division, pending the fact that the winning team in any given division doesn't already have a senior team in the division it is being promoted to. In such cases the team that finished second will be promoted in its stead. If a team is relegated to a division where one of its teams are already playing, the second best team will move one division down, thereby saving another team from relegation.
At the end of the 2008 season, Fram, who were set to be renamed FC Hoyvík for the 2009 season and AB II
