There are three professional leagues of soccer teams sanctioned by the Professional Division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer). The top level league is Major League Soccer (MLS). The United Soccer Leagues constitute the lower divisions; the USL First Division is a 2nd division league and the USL Second Division is a 3rd division league. Beneath these three leagues is the 4th division league, the USL Premier Development League, which is an amateur organisation.

The pro division of U.S. Soccer first sanctioned a 1st division women's league in 2001. However, due to overwhelming debts, it ceased operations on September 15, 2003 after 3 seasons in the league. Currently there are two competing leagues, Women's Premier Soccer League and the W-League, part of the United Soccer Leagues.
