Liga IV Călărași is one of the regional football divisions of Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system, for clubs based in Călărași County, and is organized by AJF Călărași – Asociația Județeană de Fotbal ().
It is contested by a variable number of teams, depending on the number of teams relegated from Liga III, the number of teams promoted from Liga V Călărași, and the teams that withdraw or enter the competition. The winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending on the result of a promotion play-off contested against the winner of a neighboring county series.
History The Călărași County Championship was formed in 1981 and placed under the authority of the newly established Consiliul Județean pentru Educație Fizică și Sport () in Călărași, following the new reorganization of the country of the country in February of that year. As part of this reform, the counties of Ilfov and Ialomița were divided, leading to the creation of the new counties of Călărași and Giurgiu.
Since then, the structure and organization of Călărași's main county competition, like those of other county championships, have undergone numerous changes. Between 1981 and 1992, it was known as Campionatul Județean (County Championship). In 1992, it was renamed Divizia C – Faza Județeană (Divizia C – County Phase), became Divizia D in 1997, and has been known as Liga IV since 2006.
Promotion The champions of each county association play against one another in a play-off to earn promotion to Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total, there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
