The National Women's Football Association (NWFA) was a full-contact American football
league for women headquartered in Nashville

played each other six times in exhibition games. The opening season was in 2001 featuring eight teams. The NWFA was originally called the National Women's Football League, but changed its name after the 2002 season. The name change came after pressure from the National Football League.

Catherine Masters was inducted into the American Football Association's Semi Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006
