The league consists of women's teams from eight of the Australian Football League (AFL) clubs, with every state, which has an AFL team, featuring at least one AFL Women's team. In addition to Adelaide having a joint licence with AFL Northern Territory, whereby some of the team's players reside in the Northern Territory. The league is set to expand in 2019 and 2020 with Geelong and North Melbourne entering the league in 2019, and Gold Coast, Richmond, St Kilda and West Coast entering in 2020.

Craig Starcevich, the senior coach of the Brisbane Lions since June 2016, was the first coach to be appointed in the league.
