The 2005–06 A-League was the 29th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the inaugural season of the A-League. After over 12 months without a national professional club competition since the close of the 2003–04 National Soccer League season, the first match in the A-League was played on 26 August 2005. The competition was made up of a triple round robin league stage before a championship playoff featuring the top four teams.
The 2006–07 A-League was the 30th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the second season of the A-League since its establishment the previous season. Football Federation Australia hoped to build on the success of the first season and on the interest generated by the Socceroos competing in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Fox Sports had signed a A$120 million deal over 7 years for the exclusive broadcast rights of the A-League, AFC Champions League, and national team matches.
The 2009–10 A-League was the 33rd season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the fifth season of the A-League competition since its establishment in 2004. The season marked the addition of two new teams from Queensland. Gold Coast United FC and the North Queensland Fury FC made their A-League debuts at the start of the season. Because of this, Queensland Roar were renamed to Brisbane Roar, as they were no longer the only A-League club from Queensland. With the inception of the two new clubs, many club transfers took place both within Australia and New Zealand, and around the world.
The Newcastle Jets 2009–10 season was the Newcastle Jets' fifth season since the inception of the A-League and ninth since the club's founding, in 2000.
The 2010–11 A-League was the 34th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the sixth season of the Australian A-League soccer competition since its establishment in 2004. The home and away season began on 5 August 2010 and concluded on 13 February 2011. The addition of Melbourne Heart brought the total number of teams to 11. Brisbane Roar finished Premiers with two games remaining in the season following an Australian record unbeaten run, and later completed the Premiership and Championship double by beating the Central Coast Mariners in the Grand Final.
The 2011–12 A-League was the 35th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the seventh season of the Australian A-League soccer competition since its establishment in 2004. At the end of the previous season, the North Queensland Fury were cut from the competition by the governing body, Football Federation Australia, due to financial reasons.
The 2011–12 A-League National Youth League was the fourth season of the Australian A-League National Youth League competition. The season ran alongside the 2011-12 A-League season and the winner was the Central Coast Mariners, who won the championship for the first time. The league expanded from 9 teams the previous year to 10 teams with the Melbourne Heart participating in the competition for the first time.
The 2012–13 A-League was the 36th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the eighth season of the Australian A-League since its establishment in 2004. The 2012–13 season saw the introduction of a new Western Sydney-based team, the return of Newcastle Jets FC after their A-League licence was returned by FFA, and the end of Gold Coast United after they were removed from the competition at the end of the previous season. This season was also the last A-League season to be broadcast exclusively on paid television, after SBS obtained the rights to a live Friday night game each week of the A-League season, and all A-League finals games on a one-hour delay, on a $160 million four-year broadcast deal, effective from the 2013–14 A-League season onwards.
The 2012–13 A-League National Youth League was the fifth season of the Australian A-League National Youth League competition. The season ran in parallel with the 2012–13 A-League season. The new Western Sydney Wanderers played their inaugural season in the league, replacing the defunct Gold Coast United team.
The 2013–14 A-League was the 37th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the ninth of the A-League since its establishment in 2004. The season began on 11 October 2013, with Western Sydney Wanderers as the defending A-League Premiers and Central Coast Mariners as the defending A-League Champions. The regular season concluded on 13 April 2014, with Brisbane Roar crowned Premiers. The 2014 Grand Final took place on 4 May 2014, with Brisbane Roar claiming their third Championship with a 2–1 win in extra time against Western Sydney Wanderers.
The 2013–14 A-League National Youth League was the sixth season of the Australian A-League National Youth League competition. The season ran alongside the 2013–14 A-League season. The schedule was released on 10 September 2013.
The 2014–15 National Youth League was the seventh season of the Australian National Youth League competition. The season ran in parallel with the 2014–15 A-League season.
The 2015–16 Brisbane Roar FC season was the club's eleventh season participating in the A-League and in the FFA Cup for the second time.
The 2015–16 W-League season was the eighth season of the W-League, the Australian national women's association football competition. On 13 May 2015, it was confirmed that Melbourne City would join the league for the 2015–16 season.
The 2016–17 National Youth League was the ninth season of the Australian National Youth League competition.
The 2017–18 Y-League was the tenth season of the Australian Y-League competition.
The 2018–19 W-League season was the eleventh season of the W-League, the Australian national women's association football competition.
The 2019–20 season is Brisbane Roar's 15th participating in the A-League and in the FFA Cup for the 6th time. Brisbane also announced they would split home A-League games between Suncorp Stadium and Dolphin Oval in Redcliffe.
