AFL Barwon Women's Football is a women's Australian rules football competition based in the greater Geelong region. The first season of senior football held for women in the area was 2018.

Background

AFL Barwon is the governing body overseeing Australian rules football in the Geelong and greater district. After many years in which only junior girl's competitions were organised, a senior women's football competition commenced in 2018. Rather than being organised by the GFL, GDFL, or the BFL, the competition is managed under the AFL Barwon banner.

2018 inaugural season competing teams: [1]

Barwon Heads; Drysdale; Geelong Amateur; Ocean Grove
Grovedale; Lara; St Joseph's; St Mary's
Bell Post Hill; Geelong West Giants; North Geelong
Colac Imperials

The competition has held grading games at the start of the seasons in both 2018, 2021 and 2022 in order to compose divisions to try to make matches as competitive as possible.
