Division 1 Ligue Haïtienne (French pronunciation: ​[liɡ ajisjɛ̃n]; also recently referred to as the Digicel D1), is the Haitian professional league for association football clubs. It is the country's primary football competition and serves as the top division of the Haitian football league system.

History

Foundation

It was created in 1937 and is headed by the Fédération Haïtienne de Football, the official governing body of football in the country. The champion and runner-up teams of the league's tournaments qualify to participate in the CONCACAF Champions Cup from the first round of the CFU Club Championship. 14 teams participate in this league and compete for the national title. RC Haïtien, with 11 national titles, is the most successful club in the league to date.
