The Moldovan National Division (Romanian: Divizia Națională) is the top association football division of the Moldovan football league system. The competition was established in 1992, when the country became independent from the Soviet Union.
There are currently eight teams in the competition. At the end of the season, the bottom club is relegated to the "A" Division and replaced by the lower league's champion.
