# Play-offs to the Norwegian First Division (women)

The Play-offs to the 1. divisjon for women in association football is a Norwegian play-off competition that have taken place from 2001.
The play-offs were instituted because of the streamlining of the 1. divisjon (second tier) ahead of the 2001 season, into one national league. Before that, the 1. divisjon consisted of several groups, whose teams themselves engaged in a playoff to the Toppserien, the first tier.
The playoffs have never had a clear-cut institutionalized shape or form.
