The AFC Women's Club Championship was a former women's football club competition in Asia. It involved the top clubs from countries affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It was designed as a pilot competition for the AFC Women's Champions League, which was launched in the 2024–25 season.
History The concept of an Asian women's club competition was first recommended in 2018. The inaugural championship in 2019 was held as a round-robin tournament among four teams from the east region. This was followed by the 2021 championship among four teams from the west region. The last edition of the tournament was held in 2023; the Asian Football Confederation had initially decided to cancel the final match after the group stage since the tournament was only intended to be a pilot for the AFC Women's Champions League. However, following backlash, they decided to hold the final match, where Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds defeated South Korea's Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels 2–1.
