# First Division Women's Volleyball League (Portugal)

The Portuguese First Division Women's Volleyball National Championship (Portuguese: Campeonato Nacional de Voleibol – 1ª Divisão) is the highest professional women's volleyball league in Portugal. It is organized and administrated by the Portuguese Volleyball Federation (FPV).

## History

The competition is contested since its inaugural season in 1959–60. It was renamed Honour Division (Portuguese: Divisão de Honra) for the 1983–84, 1986–87 and 1987–88 seasons. The league was restructured in the 1998–99 season, with the creation of Series A1 and A2 and the introduction of a play-off system at the final stages of the competition. In the 2011–12 season, the Series A! and A2 were restored to a single first division. Since the 2014–15 season, the competition champion is called the Elite Champion while the four losing first round play-off teams compete for a secondary title (First Division Champion).
