The following teams participated at the inaugural 9-a-side edition with their division in the group stage.[2]
The following edition in 2015 was played in full 90 minutes with 11 field players on each team. 10 teams participated in the match mostly composed by University varsity and alumni teams.[3] In 2016, the PFF Women's League was launched[4] although the PFF would stop organizing the cup tournament.
The PFF revived the Women's Cup in late 2022, following two years of inactivity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition had eight teams.[5] The cup tournament will return again in 2024, serving as qualification for the PFF Women's League.[6]
