The women's league was single-track for the first twelve years of its existence until it was subordinated to a second women's league (Ligat Nashim Shniya) as the first women's league (Ligat Nashim Rishona) for the 2010/11 season. The second division represents a promotion place for the first division. In the 2003/04 season, the game was interrupted and the competition finally ceased altogether after the players went on strike for fairer salary payments.
