This article deals with the 2009/10 season of the Austrian women's ice hockey league, for the season of the German women's ice hockey league see Women's ice hockey league 2009/10 .
Until the current season, the DEBL had been its own self-contained championship, but due to the lack of importance of the title played, it was not of great importance. This changed with the 2009/10 season. With nine teams, more teams take part in the league than ever before. After the end of the basic round in DEBL and EWHL (six teams, two of them from Austria), the two EWHL participants and the four best-placed Austrian DEBL teams play the seeding for the playoffs in a placement round in two groups. The Austrian champion is then determined in these. This is intended on the one hand to upgrade DEBL and on the other hand to create a stronger bond between the two women's leagues.
