# List of Australian women's soccer champions

The Australian women's soccer champions are the champions of the top level league in Australian women's soccer.
The Women's National Soccer League (WNSL) was established as 1996 as the first national domestic league in women's soccer in Australia. Queensland Academy of Sport (then known as Queensland Sting) became the first women's champions in Australia. Following the demise of the WNSL in 2004 alongside the men's NSL, the W-League (now A-League Women) was formed three seasons after the men's A-League in 2008. Queensland Roar (now Brisbane Roar) were the inaugural champions of the W-League.
