Report

___________________________________________________________________________

The first full season of Womens Australian Football in Ireland was played in 2018, over four rounds in a carnival format, with West Clare Waves showing why they are European Champions by winning the title with 13 wins from 15 games.

The First round featured West Clare, Dublin Angels, UCC Crusaders, Portadown Power and North East Kookaburras. North East Kookaburras set the early pace with 3 wins from 3, with West Clare Waves picking up 2 wins from their three matches.

Round 2 featured  the original five teams, plus Galway Magpies, with UCC Crusaders renamed Cork Vikings. The Kookaburras again won all 3 matches to go 6-0, but this was the last Round they played in. West Clare established themselves, only losing to the Kookaburras for the second round running.

Round 3 in Islandbridge, Dublin, saw West Clare waves winning all four matches, with Portadown Power  posting a 1-1-1 record for the round  and Dublin Angels gaining one draw from their four matches, following a draw between the teams. They were the only three teams in the round.

Round 4 saw 5 teams enter with West Clare Waves again going 4-0 to win the title, Portadown Power and Cork Vikings coming in second and third. Newcomers Portlaoise Pixies managed a win against Dublin Angels to lift them above Galway in the Final Table. Dublin Angels finished in mid-table with two wins and a draw, just above North East Kookaburras.

Report

The Australian Rules Football League of Ireland was founded in 2001, and by 2011 the two geographical divisions were merged into one Premiership.

Leeside Lions won the 2011 Premiership title and South Dublin Swans the Grand Final. The 2012 season belonged to the Belfast Redbacks who won both the Premiership and Grand Final, defeating Galway Magpies 74-48. They would again win the Premiership in 2013, however, would fall short 76-56 to the South Dublin Swans in the Grand Final.

Belfast Redbacks would again win the 2015 Premiership, losing only 1 of 8 matches. The 2016 season would see both titles go south as the Leeside Lions took the Premiership and defeated Belfast Redbacks convincingly in the Grand Final 104-52. They would repeat the feat in the 2017 season, beating South Dublin Swans 85-41 in the Grand Final to add to their second Premiership in a row.
