The Liga I is the top level women's football league in Romania. The champion team qualifies for UEFA Women's Champions League.
After the fall of communism, organised women's football started to take off, and the founded clubs were distributed into 2 leagues - Divizia A with 12 teams and Divizia B with 30 teams grouped into 3 series, following a tournament called Cupa Libertății.[1] In 2006, the league was rebranded as Liga I along with its male counterparts, since the name Divizia A was found to already be trademarked.[2]
The top league was renamed Superliga for 4 seasons between the 2013–14 season, when the league-system was restructured, and until the 2016–17 season. Between these seasons, the name Liga I was given to the second-tier league.
