Norwegian First Division (women)

The Norwegian First Division, also called 1. divisjon (Norwegian: 1. divisjon) and COOP-ligaen (due to sponsoring ties with COOP), is the second highest division in women's football in Norway. It was founded in 1984. Between 1984 and 1995 it served as the first tier. 1. divisjon was replaced as a first tier by the Eliteserien which in turn was replaced by the Toppserien in 2000. It continued as a second tier from 1996 and onwards.
