The L1QC women's division is below the Northern Super League and equal to League1 Ontario, League1 British Columbia, and League1 Alberta.

In 2011, the men's Première ligue de soccer du Québec was established to begin play in 2012, marking the return of a semi-professional soccer league to the province for the first time in 20 years.

[2][3] In 2018, a women's division was added, starting with five teams: AS Blainville, Dynamo de Québec, FC Sélect Rive-Sud, CS Monteuil, and Lakers du Lac Saint-Louis.

[6] Beginning in the 2020 season, League1 Ontario and the PLSQ had planned to hold a Final Four end-of-season tournament for their women's divisions, from August 14 to 16, pitting the top two sides from each league in an inter-provincial playoff.

[15] In 2022, the PLSQ joined League1 Canada along with League1 Ontario and League1 British Columbia (and later League1 Alberta), with the various leagues sending their champions to the year-end Women's Inter-Provincial Championship.
