The Norwegian Women's Championship is currently contested at the end of the season, after the conclusion of the Eliteserien and the 1. divisjon. The top teams from both leagues are eligible to participate in the national championship.

From 2002 to 2009, regional competitions were held to begin the season with the national championship being held to decide the champion. In 2000-01, the national championship contained the top teams from the Eliteserien and the 1. divisjon.

Between 1997 and 2000, the winner of the Eliteserien also claimed the national championship. From 1993-1997, the 1. divisjon champion was crowned national champions. The Eliteserien was also contested in 1996-97, but only on an experimental basis.
