The FA Women's National League North is a league at the third-level in the women's football league pyramid in England, along with the Southern division. These two divisions are part of the FA Women's National League and below the FA Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship.

The league is played on a home and away basis, with each team playing each other twice, and points being awarded in the standard football format. The bottom two clubs are relegated, also on a geographical basis, to the Division One Northern, and Division One Midland.

Northern Championship teams are eligible to play in the Women's League Cup as well as the FA Women's Cup.
