Background

Clubs

The West Australian Football Commission announced that Perth Football Club would enter a team in the league for the 2025 season, ensuring that all nine traditional WAFL clubs would have a women's side competing for the first time since the inception of the women's competition. ^[2] Perth had been a competitive side in the second-tier Rogers Cup female league, winning six matches in 2024 in just their second season in the competition.

Representative match

Ahead of the season, both the West Australian and South Australian Football Commission's announced that a state league representative match between the SANFLW and WAFLW would take place in May. ^[1]
