Capital League 4 is the fifth tier of men's senior football (soccer) in Brisbane, Queensland and Level 7 within the Australian soccer league system. It is administered by Football Brisbane. All clubs participating in Capital League 4 must field two teams, one in first grade, and another in the reserves competition. Clubs in the NPL and Brisbane Premier League cannot field their reserves teams in this division.
The 1949 Brisbane soccer season was the first in which the number of entries required the formation of a fifth division. The seven teams competing in 1949 Division 5 including the first teams of RAAF Amberley, Redland Bay, Annerley and Postal Institute, the latter two in their first season of senior soccer. Reserves teams of Bardon, Mitchelton and Junction Rangers made up the seven teams. The 1949 Division 5 champions were RAAF Amberley after defeating Redland Bay 4-2 in a play-off match.
The fifth tier of Brisbane soccer continued to be known as Division 5 from 1949 to 1982. Reserve teams from higher division teams have continued to participate alongside first grade teams of other clubs since 1978 but with less frequency than earlier years. When the Brisbane Premier League was formed in 1983, the Tier 5 league became Division 4. An intermediate league existed at Tier 2 between 1984 and 1986 and the fifth tier became Amateur Division 3. From 1987 to 1996, Tier 5 was again known as Division 5 before reverting to Amateur Division 3 again between 1997 and 2001, then Division 4 for the 2002 season.
From 2003 to 2012, the fifth tier of Brisbane football was known as Metro League Division Two, which operated directly below Metro League Division One. The league was composed of a mix of first grade teams, and reserve teams from clubs in the three premier divisions, and was consistently made up of 12 clubs from 2005 to 2012.
