The competition is open to all professional and non-professional women's teams in France. The inaugural edition of the competition was held in 2001. The final match of the competition is normally held at the Stade de France, however other venues may be used. The defending champions are Lyon, who defeated Montpellier 2–1 on 15 May 2016. From the 2011–12 season onwards, the competition is played under the name Coupe de France Feminine after previously being played under the name Challenge de France.
