When the Hoofdklasse was created in 1973, the league was the top-level league of the Netherlands, and the winner was named the national champion. After the 2006/07 season, the professional Eredivisie was established as the top-level league which now plays out the championship.

There was no relegation or promotion between those two leagues.
