Port Melbourne won the club's first VFLW premiership defeating Template:VFL Col in the grand final, a week after eliminating defending premiers Essendon in the preliminary final.
Clubs[edit]
There was one change to the competition, with the Hawthorn Football Club transferring their VFL Women's license to Box Hill during the off-season, replicating the club's men's team reserves arrangement in the Australian Football League and Victorian Football League.[2]
Due to ongoing construction work at the Whitten Oval, Western Bulldogs played their home matches at Port Melbourne's ETU Stadium.[3]
