The UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) was previously called the UEFA Women's Cup (2001–2009). It is a European women's association football competition involving the top club teams from countries affiliated with the European governing body UEFA. The competition was first played in 2001–02 and renamed the Women's Champions League in the 2009–10 edition. There were two huge changes in 2009. UEFA included runners-up from the top eight ranked nations, and a one-off final as opposed to the two-legged finals in previous years. Later in the 2021–22 season, the competition included a group stage for the first time in the UWCL era.
