An idempotent Latin square of order v is called resolvable and denoted by RILS( v ) if the v ( v − 1 ) off‐diagonal cells can be resolved into v − 1 disjoint transversals. A large set of resolvable idempotent Latin squares of order v , briefly LRILS( v ), is a collection of v − 2 RILS( v )s pairwise agreeing on only the main diagonal. In this paper, it is established that there exists an LRILS( v ) for any positive integer v ≥ 3 , except for v = 6 , and except possibly for v ∈ { 14 , 20 , 22 , 26 , 28 , 34 , 35 , 38 , 40 , 42 , 46 , 50 , 55 , 62 } .
