The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system and is organized by AMFB Bucharest – ''Asociația Municipală de Fotbal'' ({{Literal translation|Municipal Football Association}}).
It is contested by a variable number of teams, depending on the number of teams relegated from Liga III, the number of teams promoted from Liga V Bucharest, and the teams that withdraw or enter the competition. The winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending on the result of a promotion play-off contested against the winner of a neighboring county series.
==History== Football in the City and Region of Bucharest included over time, apart from the participating teams at the national level, a variable number of lower category teams, contained in different organizational and competitive formulas.
After 1948, following the administrative and territorial organization of the Romanian People's Republic, the football from the City of Bucharest and from Bucharest Region was governed by the municipal commission and the regional commission within the coordination forum for physical culture and sport.
In the Bucharest Region, football was organized into regional and district championships that comprised over time teams from nowadays Ilfov, Giurgiu, Ialomița, Teleorman and Călărași counties as from City of Bucharest. The Bucharest Regional Championship was disbanded in 1968 along with the new territorial reorganization of the country<ref>{{cite web|url=https://adevarul.ro/cultura/istorie/16-februarie-1968-controversele-ultimei-reorganizari-administrativ-teritoriale-1_511f9c0300f5182b856a90cc/index.html|title=Controversele ultimei reorganizări administrativ-teritoriale|language=ro|trans-title=Controversies of the last administrative-territorial reorganization|publisher=adevarul.ro|access-date=31 July 2020|archive-date=2 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190802201454/https://adevarul.ro/cultura/istorie/16-februarie-1968-controversele-ultimei-reorganizari-administrativ-teritoriale-1_511f9c0300f5182b856a90cc/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and the new competitive system in which each county has its own football championship. Starting that year, football in the Municipality of Bucharest was organized by the newly established ''Consiliul Municipal pentru Educație Fizică și Sport'' ({{Literal translation|Municipal Council for Physical Education and Sports}}) in Bucharest.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eBucharesteanul.ro/stiri/sport-2/fotbalul-Bucharestean-la-ceas-aniversar-110-ani-de-fotbal-si-40-de-ani-de-fc-Bucharest--101769.html|title=Fotbalul Bucureștean la ceas aniversar: 110 ani de fotbal şi 40 de ani de FC Bucharest|language=ro|trans-title=Bucharest football on the anniversary clock: 110 years of football and 40 years of FC Bucharest|publisher=eBucharesteanul.ro|accessdate=31 July 2020}}{{Dead link|date=September 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
In the City of Bucharest competitive formula was that of the municipal championship with teams from the largest Bucharest enterprises, in value categories called Honor, Promotion and Sector. A peak moment in this period, which ended after 1990, was the time interval between 1964 and 1976, when the destinies of football in the Capital were ensured by Prof. Traian Tomescu, and the number of teams, players, referees and coaches reached a record number, under the conditions of some competitions with two series at Honor Category, another four series at Promotion Category and one or two series for each sector of Bucharest.
After 1992, football in the Municipality of Bucharest was organized under the ''Asociația Municipală de Fotbal'' ({{Literal translation|Municipal Football Association}}), and the number of teams participating in competitions decreased due to poor economic and financial conditions. The competition was renamed ''Divizia C – Faza Municipală'' (Divizia C – Municipal Phase), became Divizia D in 1997, and has been known as Liga IV since 2006.
==Promotion== The champions of each county association play against one another in a play-off to earn promotion to Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total, there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
