The Primera División Femenina de El Salvador is the main women's football competition for in El Salvador. It was established in 2010.
There previously were some women's tournaments held in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In September 2019, as part of the guidelines done by CONCACAF for clubs to be able to participate in the primera division, the formation of a women's division was needed. The new division was created by the Salvadoran Primera division, which will be run instead of FESFUT. The new season will begin in September 2019.
La Liga Mayor Femenina follows the usual double round-robin format.
During the course of a given season (Apertura or Clausura), each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 22 games.
Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, with the top eight clubs at the end of the season progressing through to the finals.
If points are equal between two or more clubs, goal difference usually determines their placement.
Although when it comes to qualifying for the finals, if the team in eighth and ninth spot are equal on points, then a Repechaje or Playoff is needed to determine which team gains entry into finals.
A system of relegation exists between the Primera División and the Segunda División.
In May each year, at the conclusion of both the apertura and clausura seasons, the team with the fewest points on aggregate over both seasons, is automatically relegated to the Segunda División.
A total of 12 teams contest the league in the current season
