Kvindedivisionsforeningen, shortened to KDF, is a trade, special interest and employers' organisation for women's professional association football in Denmark and the elite clubs (or their companies) that partake in the Women's League, Women's 1st Division, Women's 2nd Division and Women's Under-18 Tournament, representing their interests, primarily towards the Danish Football Association (DBU), the Danish Football Players' Association (SF) and the local municipalities.[3][4] The association's secretariat is located at the offices of the Danish FA at Fodboldens Hus, DBU Allé 1 in Brøndby. While the national FA is the organiser of the women's nation-wide league and cup tournaments, the women's organisation has a say in their marketing, guidelines, structure and development.[5][6][7] They have previously organised an unofficial football tournament, called Grand Prix turneringen.

Founded in 1981 under the name Foreningen af Dame DM og DS klubber, commonly referred to as Damedivisionsforeningen (DDF), its current name was adopted in January 2005.[2][1][8] Kvindedivisionsforeningen is subject to the laws and regulations of the Danish FA, with its members being part of the board of representatives, DBU's highest decision-making body.[3][9] The women's organisation is represented by Divisionsforeningen, one of two formal members of the national organisation, and has signed an association agreement with the men's own organisation.[7] Those member clubs, that partake in the Danmarksturneringen i kvindefodbold (Kvinde-DM), choose one of DBU's board members.[3]
