The '''Maltese Women's League''' or for sponsorship reasons '''BOVAssikura Women's League''' is the top-level league of [[women's association football|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.
Line 26:
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.

For the 2023–24 season, the league will be the only division in Malta and will comprise eight clubs. In terms of format, the league will be split into two phases. In the first part of the season, the eight teams of the league will face each other played in a double round-robin format. Thereafter, the division will be split into two divisions, with the top four at the end of the first part of the season qualifying for the Championship Round and the bottom four qualifying for the Relegation Round.
