The West Australian Women's Football League (WAWFL) is the governing body of women's Australian rules football in the state of Western Australia.
History
The WAWFL football league was formed in 1987.[1] The first season of competition was played in 1988 between four clubs, with a team from Mount Lawley winning the inaugural premiership.[2][3] A second division was added from 2007 and the two divisions were later renamed "League" and "Reserves", the format most commonly used in Australian football leagues.[4]
