Our History
The Balmain Women’s Football Club formed in 1999 and entered the Sydney Women's AFL competition in 2000 as a foundation member.
Playing the first year as Glebe they would go on to become the Balmain Tigers in 2001 and then the Balmain Dockers in 2008. The club would claim back-to-back premierships in 2011 and 2012, and finish runners up in 2013. The team ceased playing at the end of 2015.
In 2021 we made an attempt to re-establish, but the pandemic and our preparation were tested.
In 2026, the women’s team resurfaced, and played in Women’s Division 3, with a mix of experienced and new players among its ranks.
On September 20, The Women’s Division 3 team won the Premiership in a hard fought Grand Final against Sydney University, 3.4-22 to 1. 3-9.
2027: With Success comes growth
Piggybacking on a successful 2026, Balmain AFC is looking to nominate 2 teams in the re-structured Sydney AFL competition.
With the success of a 2026 flag, Balmain AFC will nominate for Women’s Division 2 and Division 3 sides, to strengthen and grow our Women’s program.
Membership packages and prices will be released shortly.
