In the course of a season, each team meets each other twice - once at home and once away. Thus, each team plays 22 championship games. The champions qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League , while the last two teams are relegated. As usual in Scandinavia, the season runs with the calendar year.

history

In 1984 an official championship in Norwegian women's football was played for the first time. A first league was established, which was divided into the groups Western Norway, Eastern Norway and Central Norway. The group winners determined the national champions in a final round. In 1986 a group for Northern Norway was added. A year later, a single-track first division with ten teams was established. In 1995 the league was renamed the Elite Series. It has been called Toppserien since 2000 .
