The league was launched by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) in 2014, with its first season held from 2016 to 2017.

[2] The PFF plans to hold a bigger amateur women's league to give more playing opportunities to collegiate players after they graduate from their respective universities[1] and eventually professionalize the league so it can support itself.

The league was launched to create a bigger pool for the Philippines women's national football team.

The league's players reportedly are compliant with the MyPFF online registration system of the Philippine Football Federation.

[1][3] At least for the inaugural edition, participating teams paid a registration fee of ₱15 thousand.

2022 PFF Women's Cup debutants Azzurri also joins the league.
