Women's Baltic Football League
The Women's Baltic Football League is an international women's football 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. It was revived in 2017, and played from June to September.[1]
The tournament was also held in 1990's and then later in 2005–2010 with various rules.[2][3]
Current champions are Estonian FC Flora, who won Latvian SFK Riga in the 2024 final.[4]
