The Maltese Women's League or for sponsorship reasons Assikura Women's League is the top-level league of women's football in Malta. It is run by the Malta Football Association.
After several failed attempts in the 1970s and 1980s to create a lasting women's football competition, successful tournaments of San Gwann and Luxol St. Andrews gained so much interest, that the Malta Football Association decided to organize the first ever league in 1995–96.
The most titles were won by Hibernians.
Although the winning team of the league qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League, the spot is not always taken. Malta is currently tied for 43rd place out of 50 in the UEFA coefficients women's ranking[1] and the last club to take part was Birkirkara in 2007–08; Birkirkana lost all three games with 1–37 goals. In 09–10 they competed again and ended up with three losses and 1-26 goals.
