The Rugby Football League Women's Super League South (known as the Betfred Women's Super League South due to sponsorship) was introduced as a top tier women's rugby league club competitions in Great Britain for teams Southern England and South Wales that ran parallel to the RFL Women's Super League.

Originally intended to start in 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The inaugural season started in mid-June 2021[1] and ended on 29 August.[2]

In January 2024, it was announced that the Super League South would become the Women's Southern Championship; one of the three regional competitions in the restructured second tier of women's rugby in Great Britain.
