The North West Women's League (NWWL) was a women's football league, representing the top level of play in North West England.

The league was founded in 1970 and originally consisted of eight teams, including Fodens Ladies F.C.[1] Later teams in the division included St Helens W.F.C.,[2] Chorley L.F.C., Crewe L.F.C., F.C. Redstar, Leasowe Pacific and Preston Rangers W.F.C.[3][4]

In 1989, the league merged with the Greater Manchester and Merseyside League, and with the Three Counties League, to form the North West Women's Regional Football League.[3]
