The 2024–25 season of the First League was the 34th edition of the Croatian top-tier women's football league.
Osijek were the defending champions, having won what was already their 25th title in the 2023–24 season.
The calendar for the 2024–25 season was published in the HNS newsletter from 21 August 2024. The first matches were played on 1 September 2024 and the regular season ended on 16 March 2025. The championship round and qualification round followed from 23 March 2025 until 15 June 2025.
The format of the 2024–25 season differed from the previous years, as the championship round was played as a quadruple round-robin tournament, with two home and two away matches against each opponent, as opposed to the double round-robin tournament played in previous seasons. The qualification round remains unchanged.
