The Women's Hoofdklasse Hockey is the women's top division of Field hockey in the Netherlands. The league ranks first in the European league ranking table.[1] The league was established in 1981 and before the league existed the champions of the several districts played in a championship pool to determine the national champion.
Amsterdam are the current champions, having won the 2022–23 season by defeating SCHC in the championship final.[2] Amsterdam and Den Bosch both won 21 titles.
Format
The season starts in August or September of each year and is interrupted by the
play-offs. The number one and four and the number two and three play each other in the semi-final and the winners qualify for the final where the winner will be crowned champion. The last-placed team is relegated to the second division, the Promotieklasse.[3] The eleventh-placed team plays in a relegation play-off against the runners-up of the Promotieklasse and the tenth-placed team plays a relegation play-off against the third-placed from the Promotieklasse.[3] The winners of these matches will play the next season in the Hoofdklasse.[3]
