The Southern Women’s League has a similar structure to the men’s league. As of 2009, SMRAC has a team in Senior Division 3, where it competes with 9 other teams in 5 fixtures a season, all 10 clubs competing in each fixture.

Fifteen year olds and above can compete as seniors. The scoring  events are: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m, 100m hurdles, 400m hurdles, high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot, discus, javelin, hammer, and 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relay. In addition there are  non-scoring 300m and 80m hurdles events for under 17s. There are ‘A’ and ‘B’ string competitors for each event, plus (currently) the possibility of non-scoring competitors at all events.

Points scoring is similar to the men’s league. 10 points are scored for 1st place in an event, down to 1 for 10th place.  Unlike the men's league, aggregate event points determine league position and the top two  clubs are promoted.
