The Campeonato Nacional de Rugby Feminino (English: National championship of Women's rugby) is the Portuguese top division of women's rugby. It is organised by the Portuguese Rugby Federation and was created in 2000, to fill the need of a women's league. Its inaugural winner was Pescadores da Costa da Caparica, who dominated the league alongside Agrária for the first five years. In 2007, Benfica broke their dominion and won three titles in a row, with Técnico stopping them in 2010. After another win for Benfica, Agrária won their fifth title in 2012, with Benfica matching that number in the competition last edition.

Since 2013, the league is only played in the rugby sevens variant, known as Circuito Nacional de Sevens Feminino. It started in 2003 and usually occurred after the rugby union season ended. Agrária dominated the competition until 2009, when Benfica won their first. They won four more titles, before being stopped by arch-rivals Sporting, who won back-to-back titles in 2016–17 and 2017-18.
