The division was created in 2004-05 as part of a complete overhaul of the Berks/Bucks & Oxon league, with a large number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams entering at various levels, and was divided into north and south regions, becoming the third division of the league structure with promoted teams going into Berks/Bucks & Oxon 1 and there being no relegation. Further league restructuring in 2011 saw Berks/Bucks & Oxon 2 become one league instead of two regional divisions and newly created divisions below it meant that relegation was introduced. Changes above the division meant that 1st teams were split from 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams and Berks/Bucks & Oxon 1 was the furthest teams in Berks/Bucks & Oxon 2 and below could go in the system.
