L.League 2005 (L1)

In 2005 the L1 division again consisted of eight teams, and its season ran from April 9th until November 3rd.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The season was longer than in 2004 due to the lack of a major international tournament, with all teams playing each other thrice.

YKK Tohoku Flappers moved south from Miyagi to Fukushima and were taken over by TEPCO. The club was renamed TEPCO Mareeze. Saitama Reinas were renamed Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies, as a result of becoming part of the Urawa Red Diamonds J.League club.

NTV Beleza won their eighth title, and first since 2002.

Having finished bottom, Takarazuka Bunnys Ladies were automatically relegated to L2.

L.League 2004 (L2)

The newly organised L2 division consisted of six teams, and its season ran from June 13th until October 31st.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The only difference between L1 and L2 was that in the latter all teams would play each other thrice.

Okayama Yunogo Belle won the race to be automatically promoted ahead of Albirex Niigata Ladies. Belle's promotion was sealed on October 24th in a 5-1 away win against Shimizu Daihachi SC, the hometown team of Belle's manager Honda Midori, with whom she had begun her career.

L.League 2004 (L1)

The newly organised L1 division consisted of eight teams, and its season ran from June 13th until October 31st, with a break for the Olympic Games, held in August in Athens.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. All teams would play each other twice.

YKK Tohoku Flappers changed their name to YKK AP Tohoku LSC Flappers. Tasaki Perule FC had hitherto used the Japanese 田崎, but from this season decided to use the Roman alphabet and called themselves TASAKI Perule FC.

Saitama Reinas won their first league title. The following season the club was renamed Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies when it became part of that organisation.

Having finished bottom, Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC were automatically relegated to L2.

L.League 2003

The league grew to thirteen teams for the 2003 season, with newcomers Okayama Yunogo Belle and Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC joining the fray. The season ran from April 7th until December 21st, with a break for the Women's World Cup, which was held in Germany in September and October.


The format was again changed from that used in 2001. In the First Stage all teams would play each other twice. The top three teams in each division would progress to the Upper Section, where each team would play each other twice.

The remaining seven sides would compete in the Lower Section, where once again they would only play each other once.


For the coming 2004 season, the league would be expanded to fourteen teams, in two divisions: L1, comprised of eight teams, and L2, which would comprise the remaining six.

The three bottom teams in the Lower Section in 2003 would play in L2. The top four teams would play another set of games, with each team playing the other three once. The top two teams resulting from this mini-tournament would play in L1, the bottom two in L2.

Tasaki Perule FC, who had been disappointed to finish second the previous two seasons, won their first and only league title. The club was disbanded at the end of the 2008 season.

L.League 2002

Just as in 2001, the league gained another team for the 2002 season, bringing the total number to eleven. AS Elfen Sayama FC, hitherto called AS Elfen FC, became the second club from Saitama in the league. The first of those Saitama teams, Urawa Reinas, changed their name to Saitama Reinas.


The format remained largely the same as that used in 2001, though with one significant change. Each team played the opposition sides once, not twice, within their own division though with the same points format as in 2001. Following the first stage, the top two teams in each division would form a new Upper Section division, with the remaining seven teams forming the Lower Section. The teams in the Upper Section would play each other twice, those in the Lower Section just once.

NTV Beleza retained the title, again finishing just ahead of Tasaki Perule FC, with whom they drew on the final day to secure their seventh championship.

L.League 2001

The league gained another team for the 2001 season, bringing the total number to ten. Shimizu Daihachi SC, formed in 1978 and the dominant club in the 1980's, finally achieved league status this season having previously competed in the JLSL Challenge League.


The rules remained the same as those used in 2000. Each team played the opposition sides twice within their own division, with the same points format as in 2000. Following the first stage, the top two teams in each division would form a new Upper Section division, with the remaining six teams forming the Lower Section. The teams in the Upper Section would play each other twice, those in the Lower Section just once.

NTV Beleza retained the title, beating Tasaki Perule on the final day, and took their total number of championships to six.

L.League 2000

The number of surviving teams from 1999 was just six, and for the 2000 L.League season three new teams made their debut: JEF United Ichihara Ladies, YKK Tohoku Flappers and Renaissance Kumamoto S.C. The competition was again restructured into two geographical divisions, East Japan with four teams and the remaining five in West Japan. The season ran from July 1st until December 9th.

Each team played the opposition sides twice within their own division, with the same points format as in 1999. Following the first stage, the top two teams in each division would form a new Upper Section division, with the remaining five teams forming the Lower Section. The teams in the Upper Section would play each other twice, those in the Lower Section just once.

Matsushita and Prima Ham both withdrew sponsorship from their respective teams, and so they became community based instead.
Therefore Matsushita Denki Panasonic Bambina was renamed Speranza FC Takatsuki and Prima Ham FC Kunoichi was renamed Iga FC Kunoichi.

NTV Beleza won the title for the fifth time, having last won the championship in 1993.
