Nadeshiko League Division 1 2007

The Nadeshiko League's Division 1 again consisted of eight teams in 2007, and its season ran from April 28th until December 9th, with a break for the Women's World Cup, held in China in September.


The format used by the league reverted back to a straightforward round robin tournament, using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Each team would play each other thrice. The bottom team would be automatically relegated (replaced by the winner of Division 2) and the second-from-bottom would enter a play-off with the Division 2 runners-up.

NTV Beleza won their tenth title, and their third in a row.

Having finished bottom, Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC were automatically relegated to Division 2. Having finished second from bottom, Iga FC Kunoichi proceeded to play JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies who finished second in Division 2 for the right to play in Division 1 in 2007. They won and retained their Division 1 status.
