The Gold Rush League (GRL) is a Californian soccer league and the third-highest level of the New California soccer league system, after the San Andreas League (SAL). The GRL was founded in October of 2034 after it was decided that each 22 teams would form a new league, each one being a level lower than the previous one.
The GRL operates on a round-robin 84-game season beginning around early April and ending in September (excluding the playoffs). The season is split into quarters, after which a 10-day break takes place. The top six clubs advance to the playoffs after the regular season has ended, with a 15-day break. The two-round tournament determines who will advance to the SAL, the top four teams being promoted; the Gold Rush Cup is awarded to the winner of the tournament. Chula Vista AFC have won the award five times, more than any other club, and Concord SC are the most recent champions.
