Ligue Haïtienne (French pronunciation: [liɡ ajisjɛ̃n]; Haitian League), is a Haitian professional league, governed by the Haitian Football Federation, for association football clubs. It is the country's primary football competition and serves as the top division of the Haitian football league system. Contested by 18 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with Division 2, although the current format has been changed due to violence in the country, with 3 regional groups consisting of 14 teams, after a three year hiatus.
Clubs also compete against continental rivals in the CFU Club Shield, CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, and CONCACAF Champions Cup.
It was created in 1937 and is headed by the Fédération Haïtienne de Football, the official governing body of football in the country. The league champion qualifies for the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup for a spot to participate in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. 20 teams participate in this league and compete for the national title. Racing CH, with 14 national titles, is the most successful club in the league to date.
