Current: 2024 Argentine Women's Primera División A

Since 2016, the tournament has been the highest tier of the Argentine women's football league system following the creation of a second division called Primera División B. It applies a system of promotion and relegation with it, with the teams finishing at the bottom of the annual standings being relegated. Before then, the Primera División A was simply named "Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino", as it was the only women's football tournament in existence.

Teams contesting the championship are mainly from the region of Buenos Aires, which includes the Autonomous city, Greater Buenos Aires and La Plata. There are also teams from Córdoba, San Luis and Santa Fe. Apart from this competition, other regional female leagues exist around Argentina.

Boca Juniors is the most successful club with 28 titles won to date.
