The Women's Baltic Football League is an international women's football league confronting the two top teams in Estonia's Meistriliiga, Latvia's Sieviešu Ligas and Lithuania's A Lyga within a round robin format, with no fixtures between both teams from each country. The reigning champions are Latvian Riga FC, who defeated Lithuanian MFA Žalgiris-MRU in the 2025 final.

The tournament was also held in 1990's and then later in 2005–2010 with various rules.[1][2] It was then revived in 2017.[3]
