There are two senior women's AFL leagues in Queensland governed by AFL Queensland.
The Queensland Women's Australian Football League (QWAFL) is the highest league in the State, providing 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 the AFL's women's exhibition matches.
The second-tier of women's football in South-East Queensland is the Queensland Women's Amateur Football League (QWAFA), which was introduced in 2014. This competition is designed to allow women's 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.
