The Primera División A ("First Division A"), known officially as Campeonato Femenino YPF for sponsorship reasons, is a semi-professional women's football league in Argentina. The tournament is ruled by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), with its first season held in 1991.

Since 2016, the tournament has been the highest tier of the Argentine women's football league system following the creation of a second division called Primera División B. It applies a system of promotion and relegation with it, with the teams finishing at the bottom of the annual standings being  relegated. Before then, the Primera División A was simply named "Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino", as it was the only women's football tournament in existence.

Teams contesting the championship are mainly from the region of Buenos Aires, which includes the Autonomous city, Greater Buenos Aires and La Plata. There are also teams from Córdoba, San Luis and Santa Fe. Apart from this competition, other regional female leagues exist around Argentina.

Boca Juniors is the most successful club with 28 titles won to date.

In March 2019, it was announced that the league would become professional from the 2019/20 season. The agreement was signed by President of AFA, Claudio Tapia, and Sergio Marchi (representing the footballers union). The Association committed to give each club AR$ 125,000 for players' salaries. The AFA's facilities can be also used by clubs which don't have a venue to host their home games.

Changes in Argentine women's football also include the creation of a new competition (similar to men's Copa Argentina), named "Fútbol en Evolución", contested by teams all around the country.
