The Azerbaijani women's football league is the top-level women's football league of Azerbaijan. It is organized by the national women's football association.

The league was played out from 2003[1] for some years. After that there first were no leagues and then only youth (U15, U17) ones.[1][2]

The winning team of the league qualified for a spot in the UEFA Women's Cup. Gömrükçü Baku has represented Azerbaijan five times from 2002–03 to 2006–07 and reached a quarter-final. Ruslan-93 Baku played the Women's Cup in 2007–08.

The first season after the hiatus was held in 2016/17 with Gabala FK winning the title. Sumgayit FK would win the next title before the league would return to a hiatus. It appears to have run for half a season in 2021-22, but no further information is available.[3]
