It is organised by the Portuguese Football Federation and, therefore, played under UEFA's rules.
It was created in the 2013–14 season, joining Portugal's 16 best teams, and is disputed in a regular phase divided in two geographic zones, North and South, followed by a second phase with a poule contested by the top-four teams in each zone.
The remaining teams contest one relegation poule for each zone, with the two lower teams of each group being relegated to the regional leagues (distritais).
Each season, four teams are promoted from the previous edition of the Taça Nacional de Futsal Feminino.
Benfica are the current Portuguese champions, having won five consecutive league titles.
