History
Women’s rugby league was introduced to Canberra in 1991 through the efforts of local citizens. From an early February expression of interest in forming a team in the Canberra Times, a committee was formed, contact and affiliation with the ACT Rugby League was instigated and twenty minute, seven-a-side exhibition matches were held in March 1991.[37][38][39][40][41] A four team competition commenced in late May 1991, initially with nine-a-side but this became ten-a-side later in the season.[42][43] Two club teams were sent to an eight-team women's rugby league tournament in the Illawarra in mid-July, with East Canberra winning it.[44][43] On 28 July 1991, an exhibition match was played at half-time of an NSWRL men's match between the Canberra Raiders and Brisbane Broncos.[43]
A combined ACT women's team toured the North Island of New Zealand in April 1992, winning three of the four matches they played against club sides.[45] An ACT representative team was selected to play Illawarra in late August 1992.[46]
Canberra club teams competed in subsequent National Championships between 1992 and 1994, with several of these competitions hosted in the Australian Capital Territory.[47][48][49] The National Championships switched to representative teams in 1995 and Canberra or Australian Capital Territory teams competed in several if not all years until 2003.
