Women's Australia Cup

Last updated

The Women's Australia Cup is a women's association football knock-out cup tournament held annually in Australia. It began in 1999 and continued until 2004, when Football Australia was restructured and all competitions ended. Despite the new A-League Women season starting in 2008, the women's cup took longer to organise and implement. But after Australia and New Zealand were awarded the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, plans began immediately for a women's tournament. So in 2023, Football Australia announced the tournament will recommence in 2024 with all women's clubs across Australia, as well as Wellington Phoenix and the future Auckland team to be able to participate.
