QAFL Women's
Pre-eminent women's competition of Australian rules football in Queensland
The Queensland Australian Football League Women's (QAFLW ) is the highest-ranked Australian rules football women's league in Queensland . It provides elite women footballers the opportunity to play in a semi-professional environment. Many players from this league have represented their State, earned All-Australian honours, and participated in AFLW .
There are five senior women's Australian rules football leagues in Queensland governed by AFL Queensland . The second-tier of women's football in South-East Queensland is the Queensland Football Association Women's (QFAW), which was introduced in 2017. This competition is designed to allow women who are new to the game to develop their football understanding and skills, and also provide new clubs with an entry point into women's football.
