The Primera D was one of two leagues that form the fifth division of the Argentine football league system. Made up of 11 clubs from Buenos Aires Province, the league is the only one that remains amateur. The other league at level five is the Torneo Federal C, where teams from regional leagues take part.

It was created in 1950 under the name "Tercera de Ascenso" ("third level of promotion"). The first champion was Liniers. In 1962 the tournament changed its name to "Primera de Aficionados", which lasted to 1974, when it was called "Primera D", which has remained to date.

Since the restructuring of the league system in 1986, the division became the fifth category of Argentine football (lower than Primera División, Primera B Nacional, Primera B Metropolitana and Primera C).

In 2023 its last edition was held because from 2024, the category was unified with the Primera C in a single tournament.

The Argentina Primera D Metropolitana is the fifth and lowest tier of professional football in the Argentine football league system. It features amateur and semi-professional clubs from the Greater Buenos Aires area and surrounding regions. Established to provide a competitive platform for smaller clubs aspiring to ascend the Argentine football pyramid, the tournament operates on a promotion and relegation system, with the top teams earning promotion to the Primera C Metropolitana. The league showcases local talent and passionate football culture, serving as a vital stepping stone for clubs and players aiming to reach higher levels of Argentine football. Matches are characterized by intense local rivalries and vibrant fan support, making the Primera D Metropolitana an essential part of Argentina's rich football landscape.
