The 2021–22 Gibraltar Women's Football League is the sixth season of 11-a-side women's football in Gibraltar since the territory joined UEFA in 2013, and FIFA in 2016. The league had been in operation for a number of years previously, but teams were ineligible for entry to the UEFA Women's Champions League as it was only a 9-a-side tournament. Lions Gibraltar were the reigning champions from the previous season, which had been shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This season is set to be the first since the 2016–17 season where more than 3 teams participate, with two new teams entering the competition.Women's League kicks off this evening Gibraltar FA. 20 September 2021.
