This year's first division championship was geographically pretty well divided : the league gathered two teams from the capital city Budapest (Vasas and FTC), two other from the Northern Great Plain (DVSC and Nyíradony) and Central Transdanubia (Dunaferr and Alcoa), three from the Southern Great Plain (ASA-Consolis-HNKC, Kisunhalas and PTE-PEAC), and finally one from Central Hungary (Vác) and Western Transdanubia (Győr).Anita Görbicz's team made a brilliant performance and qualified for the final against Danish Viborg HK but lose by one goal at total score.The runners-up of last season, Dunaferr NK played a qualification tournament but finished second of their group and didn't make it to the next round.In the EHF Cup, three teams represented Hungary : Dunaferr NK (from the CL), Budapest Bank-FTC-RightPhone and Fehérép Alcoa FKC.Teams finished in bottom four positions after the regular season enter the classification round for 9–12 places, where a double round-robin system is used.
