The 2020 Women's Premiership (currently known as the ISPS Handa Women's Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the eighteenth season of the league, New Zealand's top level women's football league since its establishment in 2002. Seven teams again were involved in the season representing the different regions in New Zealand. The league after consultation and feedback from stakeholders, was reverted back to a single round-robin format, with the two highest-placed sides progressing to a one-off grand final.[1] Canterbury United Pride was again the team to beat, as they were looking at a threepeat, having played in every final since 2013, won five our of seven of those finals, including the last two years.[2]

After an unbeaten regular season, Canterbury United Pride capped it off by completing the threepeat, beating 2nd place Capital Football 4–0 in the final.[3]
