The Western Force Women are an Australian rugby union team that competes annually in the Super W competition, and are based in Perth, Western Australia. They have competed in every edition of Super W since its official launch in 2018. They played under the name RugbyWA from 2019 to 2020.
The team played as the Western Force Women in the inaugural season of the Super W competition, finishing third overall.[1] They played under the name RugbyWA during the 2019 and 2020 seasons after their re-branding. The side returned to their "roots" by wearing the traditional black and gold state colours.[1]
They returned to playing under the Western Force name in 2021 as a newly structured Super W team, in an effort to increases support for the women's game in Western Australia.[2] With RugbyWA administering the "operational and logistical aspects in a collaborative approach".[2] The Western Force did not complete the 2021 season but opted to pull out of the Super W competition after the first round due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in New South Wales.[3][4]
