Iran Women's Basketball (Premier) League is the highest level of national women's basketball competitions in Iran. The country's club championship was held for the first time in 1975 as the Shahbanu Cup, during which the Irana team became the first club to become the champion of Iran's women's basketball clubs. The Shahbanu Cup was held every year until the 1979 revolution, which always ended with Irana winning the championship. After the revolution and about 20 years of hiatus, the women's basketball division one league started in 1999, which was the highest level of club basketball in Iran until 2001. Iran's Women's Premier Basketball League was held in 2001 as the highest level of the country's club league, which has been held annually since then. The team of Chemidor was the champion of the 20th edition of these games in 2021.
In some years (for example, 2013), national women's basketball competitions have been held in four categories: Super League, Premier League, League One and League Two. The top team of the league was held last season.
