Costa Rican Women's Premier Division
# Costa Rican Women's Premier Division

The Costa Rican Women's Premier Division (Spanish: Primera División Femenina de Costa Rica) is the main women's football competition in Costa Rica. It was established in 2001 and under the authority of the Women's Football Union (ADELIFE).

## Format

The league is played in the Apertura and Clausura format. The Apertura is played from spring to autumn, and the Clausura from autumn to spring. In each of those the top 4 finishers play a semi-final and final. After both season halves are finished, the Apertura and Clausura champion meet in a championship final to crown the champion. Should one team have won Apertura and Clausura, it is the champion without having to play a final.
