The Women's Uruguayan Championship is the highest division of women's football in Uruguay, and is organized by the Uruguayan Football Association since 1997, from a FIFA request.

Format

The current format, introduced in 2014, is divided into two stages. In the first stage, teams are split into groups of three to four. The top teams advance to the championship round, known as the Copa de Oro, while the lowest-placed teams compete in the Copa de Plata. Both rounds in the second stage are played with about 7 teams. The winner of the Copa de Oro is the national champion and qualifies to the Copa Libertadores Femenina. [1] The losers of the Copa de Plata are relegated to the Campeonato Uruguayo Femenino B.

Since 2017 the Apertura and Clausura format is played. In 2017 there were two stages. In the first stage there were seven teams that played each other once. The leading team qualified directly for Stage 2, while the teams placed second to sixth competed in a playoff round. The three winners of this round also advanced to Stage 2. The final four teams had their points reset and then played a round-robin (the cuadrangular) for the title. Since 2018 the Apertura and Clausura are both standard round-robin.

Champions

The Uruguayan championship organized by the Uruguayan Football Association began to dispute in 1997. Before that, championships were unofficial.
