The National Women's League (presently known as the ASB National Women's League) is the top level women's football (soccer) league in New Zealand. Unlike its male counterpart, the ASB Premiership, the teams are run by the regional federations rather than as collaborative entities between local clubs.

The league was founded in 2002 and ran until the end of the 2007, after which the league went on hiatus. The league was resumed in 2009 with five federations participating, as well as the national women's under-17 team. Two federations, United Soccer 1 and Central Football, elected not to participate in the 2009 season.

The league was run as a pure league fourmat in 2002 and 2003, from 2004 to 2008 there has been playoffs. The third and second placed teams after the saeson compete in a one legged semi-final. The winner of that and the first place finished then play the Grand Final to decide the champion.

From 2009 onwards, the league is split into two divisions. A Northern and a Southern Conference of 3 teams that play each other twice. After the season there is a semi-final: 1st North vs 2nd South and 2nd North vs 1st South. The winners of those play the Grand Final.
