The U18s Professional Development season is split into two regions; North and South.

Each team plays those from their region home and away (18 matches), while also facing every side from the opposite region once (10 games) - with the host club alternated every other season.

Once the regional league standings are finalised, the top two from the north and south division compete in the play-offs for the national title.
