  • The prominent women's sports leagues in the United States and Canada represent the elite level of women's sports competition for women athletes in North America. The majority of professional women's leagues are found in the United States. Top women's leagues in North America include both team sports and individual athletes. Some leagues involve paid professional women athletes while others do not and operate at a semi-professional level. Some sports are played by individual players while others are team sports. Top women's leagues in North America include the team sports of soccer (a.k.a. association football), basketball, fastpitch softball, ice hockey, ringette, women's gridiron football (full contact), flat track roller derby, and lacrosse. Professional individual sports featuring women are also popular in North America, including tennis, bowling and golf, with women's tennis in the United States proving to be particularly successful. More recently in the early 21st century, women's pickleball has become increasingly successful as a professional sport. Record attendances recorded by women's professional sports leagues have been dominated by the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and the now defunct Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league.
