The Queensland Australian Football League Women's (QAFLW) is the highest league in the State, providing elite women footballers the opportunity to play in a semi-professional environment. Many players from this league have represented their State, earned All-Australian honours, and participated in AFLW.

The second-tier of women's football in South-East Queensland is the Queensland Football Association Women's (QFAW), which was introduced in 2017. This competition is designed to allow women's who are new to the game to develop their football understanding and skills, and also provide new clubs with an entry point into women's football.
