The Belgian Women's Hockey League is the national women's ice hockey league in Belgium.
History
Between 1995 and 2000, it was staged as a joint competition with the Netherlands, and called the Low Countries Cup. For the 2000-01 season it was reorganized as a predominantly Belgian competition, but retained one Dutch club (Geleen) and admitted Amiens from France. Geleen won the league during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons, but Louvain was crowned Belgian champions as the highest-ranked Belgian outfit.
For the 2023-24 season, a standalone Belgian women's league was formed.
