The Canterbury and Wellington Women’s Football Associations were established in 1971; in 1973 the Northern Women’s Football Association was established and launched a regional league, while in Wellington, a (six teams) league competition (for the Royal Oak Cup) and a knockout competition (for the Kelly Cup) are launched. In the same year, the first recorded women's interprovincial matches since the 1920s were played between Wellington and Auckland.
