The Topklasse is a nationwide league of amateur women's football in the Netherlands. It is the highest amateur league, and the third tier in Dutch women's football in general.
Format The twelve teams play each other two times over the course of the season (a double round-robin system). The team finishing last gets relegated into the Hoofdklasse, while the second and third-last teams play a relegation play-off. There is no promotion as of now.
History The Topklasse was created in the 2011/12 season, above the then highest amateur level, the Hoofdklasse. The first title was won by RKTSV from Kerkrade. With three titles, SV Saestum is the Topklasse record champion.
