The First Women's League of Republika Srpska in basketball (Serbian: Прва женска лига Републике Српске у кошарци, Prva ženska liga Republike Srpske u košarci), known as the Meridianbet Prva ženska liga RS for sponsorship reasons,[2] is a professional women's basketball competition held in Republika Srpska, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Before the establishment of the Republika Srpska Championship in the 1992–93 season, teams from this region competed in the Yugoslav league system. The league's first champion was ŽKK Mladi Krajišnik from Banja Luka, which won nine consecutive titles.[3] During the 1990s, the club also competed in the Championship of SR Yugoslavia, achieving a second-place finish in the 1997–98 season.

The championship is organized by the Basketball Federation of Republika Srpska, and five clubs are competing in the 2024/25 season.[4]

The Republika Srpska Women's First League is a lower-tier competition compared to the Bosnia and Herzegovina Women's Basketball Championship, in which teams from Republika Srpska compete alongside clubs from other parts of the country, with a total of twelve teams.[5] Additionally, some teams from Republika Srpska also take part in the WABA League, an international women's club competition in the Balkan region.

Competition System

[edit]

The championship consists of two phases:[6]

First Phase

This is the league stage of the tournament, played in a double round-robin format (each team plays one home and one away match against every other team).

Second Phase (Play-Offs)

This stage features the four highest-ranked teams from the league phase. The winner of the Play-Offs is crowned the champion of Republika Srpska and qualifies for the Bosnia and Herzegovina Championship.
