THE EWHL was mostly played in a championship format with home and away matches, with the exception of the 2005–06 season where the teams were distributed in two regional divisions followed by qualifying rounds. For the 2010–11 season, the regular season will be followed by a play-off between the four teams at the top of the league table. ==Season 2010-11[edit] == ==Championship[edit] == ===Medal Table by Club[edit] ===
