The four new teams were Matsushita Denki LSC Bambina, Nikko Securities Dream Ladies, Asahi Kokusai Bunnys and Fujita Tendai SC Mercury. Tasaki Shinju Kobe Ladies changed their name to Tasaki Kobe Ladies prior to the season starting.
Yomiuri Soccer Club Ladies Beleza won their second consecutive championship, again going unbeaten all season.
