The Vrouwen Eredivisie (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈeːrədiˌvizi]) (Dutch for Honor Division, Eredivisie Vrouwen before 2020), also known as the Azerion Eredivisie Vrouwen due to a three-year sponsor contract beginning in the 2022–2023 season,[1] is the highest women's football league in the Netherlands. Organized by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), it was established in 2007 as a professional league and played for five seasons until 2012, when the leagues of the Netherlands and Belgium merged forming a single combined league (BeNe League). The BeNe League folded after three seasons, and the Eredivisie was restarted in the 2015–16 season. The top two teams receive a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
