The Women's Inter-Provincial Championship is an annual soccer tournament organized by Premier Soccer Leagues Canada. Established in 2022, it is contested by the champions of each of the PSL Canada member leagues.[1] The winner is considered to be the semi-pro national champion and has qualified to the CONCACAF W Champions Cup from 2023 to 2025, after which is was replaced by the W Canadian Championship.[2]

Format

The Inter-Provincial Championship is a four-team knockout tournament played in August, immediately following the regular season. It is played over a single weekend with the semifinals held on Friday and the finals and third-place match on Sunday.[3] The host of the tournament rotates between the member leagues.[4] The winners of each member league (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec) qualify for the tournament. Prior to the establishment of League1 Alberta in 2024, the host league was granted the fourth berth.
