Country Football WA (CFWA) is the governing body for the sport of Australian rules football in the non-metropolitan areas of Western Australia. The organisation was founded in 1973 as the Western Australian National Country Football League (WANCFL) before becoming the West Australian Country Football League in 1979.[2] The organisation rebranded to its current name in September 2023.[3]

CFWA is also responsible for organising the Country Football Championships, contested annually between the various regional sides.
