Liga III (women's football)

Liga III is the third-level women's football league in Romania. It was created starting with the 2016–17 season, when it formally received the name Liga II, following the introduction of Superliga as the top-tier league, and the subsequent relegation of Liga I to second-tier. However, as of the 2017–18 season, it was rebranded as Liga III, since the Superliga brand was dropped altogether, and subsequently Liga I became the top league, and Liga II the second.

Winners

The following is a list of all Romanian women's third-tier football league winners. The first place is declared the champion of the series, is slated for promotion to Liga II, and is presented with a trophy.
