The AUF organizes the national football tournament, two professional divisions (First Division and Second Division), and the third category (Amateur Second Division), involving amateur teams from Montevideo metropolitan area. Amateur clubs from the rest of the country are organized by the Interior Football Organization (OFI), federation affiliated to the AUF, but independently.
In Women's football the AUF established the Uruguayan Championship which takes place every year since 1997. In conjunction with the OFI they organized a national tournament called National Tournament of Women's Football which there were only two editions (2001 and 2003).
