The 2017 NAB AFL Women's Under-18 Championships was played between May and July 2017, with six teams competing and with a further three playing in a two-match round-robin series as a de facto Division 2.[1]
An Allies side (made up of players from the division two competition) was introduced as a division one team. This was designed to give the best prospects from those regions the opportunity to play at a national level in the division one carnival. Thus, division one was made up of six teams—Allies, NSW/ACT, Queensland, Vic Country, Vic Metro and Western Australia—playing each other across five rounds.[2]
Vic Country was the only division one team to play four matches that went undefeated, making them the de facto tournament winners. Vic Metro's Madison Prespakis was named the tournament's best player, while Vic Country's Eden Zanker was the competition's leading goalkicker.[3]
