The 2024 National Premier Leagues Victoria Women, known commonly as the NPL Victoria Women's or NPLV Women's, was the seventh season of the National Premier Leagues Victoria Women under the NPL format, and the 24th season of top-flight Victorian Women's football overall.

Twelve teams are competing in the league – the top ten teams from the previous season and the two teams promoted from the VPL Women's. The promoted teams were Essendon Royals and Brunswick Juventus. They replaced Southern United who were relegated to the VPL Women's after just one season.[1]

Bayside United would compete as Bentleigh Greens from the 2024 season following the merger between the two clubs.[2][3]
