Pacific Women's Ultra League (The Orange Outback)

The Pacific Women's Ultra League (PWUL) (Japanese: 太平女性ウルトラリーグ  Taihei josei urutorarīgu; Chinese: 太平女子足球聯賽 Tàipíng nǚzǐ zúqiú liánsài; Dutch: Pacifische Vrouwen Ultra-league) is a top-level professional association football league based in the Republic of Formosa and serves as the top-level womens' league in the Republic of Formosa, Dutch Quemoy, Hong Kong and Macau as well as a secondary league in Japan and China. It is officially sanctioned by the Formosa Football Federation and has sponsorship deals with the Royal Dutch Football Association and the Japan Football Association. The league is comprised of 24 teams—12 in Formosa, 5 in Japan, 2 each in Macau, China, and Dutch Quemoy, and 1 in China and is the only top-level women's league in all participating entities except for China and Japan, which have their own top-level women's leagues. All 24 teams play a regular season from March to October, with each team playing 34 games. Fourteen teams will then compete in the post-season Pacific Women's Ultra League Playoffs that ends with the PWUL Football Shield Championship. In addition, the top 3 teams at the end of the playoffs will also be invited to compete in the Japan Women's Pacific Cup in December.
