The National Women's Championship was the highest-tier competition of women's rugby union in Australia through the 2017 season. It was superseded as the top level of the women's sport by the new Super W competition from the 2018 season forward.[1]
The annual tournament was contested by teams from every state except Tasmania. The Championship also acted as a selection tool for the Australia women's national rugby union team, that competes at the Women's Rugby World Cup.[2][3]
