Bosnia's entities, one being the ''First Women's League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina'' and the other ''First Women's League of the Republika Srpska'', with the champion being decided through play-offs.
The winner of the play-off qualifies for a spot in the

History
Until 2013 the league was divided into the NFSBiH league and the league of the Republic of Srpska. The best two teams of the NFSBiH league qualified for a play-off in which the champion of the Republika Srpska women's football championship joined. The venue for the play-off was decided beforehand and it was played as three-team group.
Format
The teams play a double round robin after which the two best-placed teams advance to 3 team play-off group with the best placed club from
Republika Srpska.
In 2014/15 eight teams play a triple round-robin for 21 matches in total.
