Australian soccer league system
The Australian soccer league system represents the structure of soccer leagues in Australia. Both the men's and women's structures run on a straight tiered system without promotion and relegation. The introduction of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) in 2013 introduced a direct second tier of soccer in Australia, underpinning the A-League. The NPL incorporated the existing state leagues as divisions with a nationwide end of season finals series, involving initially five of the nine top state leagues. The remainder – with the exception of the Northern Territory – joined in 2014. Since 2025, sixteen teams from the NPL contest a post-season spring competition – the Australian Championship. There are aspirations for this competition to eventually become a stand-alone home and away league.
