List of AFL Women's premiers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is a complete chronological listing of AFL Women's premiers. The AFL Women's (AFLW) is the elite national competition in women's Australian rules football.
Each year, the premiership is awarded to the club that wins the AFL Women's Grand Final. The grand final was hosted by the minor premier in the first two seasons when no finals series existed, and was hosted by the preliminary final winner with the most premiership points (percentage would have come into consideration if points were the same) in 2019 when a conference system was in place.[1] Since 2021, the grand final has been hosted by the higher-ranked preliminary final winner.[2] In 2020, no premiership was awarded after the season was curtailed and eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
Adelaide has won the most premierships with three, while Brisbane and North Melbourne have won two each, and Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs one each.
