Women's Baltic Football League

The Women's Baltic Football League is an international women's football confronting the two top teams in Estonia's Meistriliiga, Latvia's Sieviešu Ligas and Lithuania's A Lyga within a round robin format, with no fixtures between both teams from each country. It was revived in 2017, and played from June to September.[1]

The tournament was also held in 2005–2010 with various rules.[2][3]
