South Eastern Women's Football (SEWF)[a] was an Australian rules football competition, based near the southeastern region of Melbourne, Victoria.
Following the 2023 season, all clubs moved to the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League, thus disbanding the SEWF competition.
History
In 2017, women's football clubs from AFL Gippsland, AFL South East, AFL Yarra Ranges, the Eastern Football League and Southern Football Netball League joined the South Eastern Women's Football Collective following the disbandment of the Victorian Women's Football League (VWFL).[1] The competition was made up of former VWFL clubs, as well as teams from local competitions.[2]
The 2020 and 2021 seasons were abandoned due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
In its inaugural season until 2023, SEWF had Division 1 (renamed to Premier Division in 2021), Division 2 and a Development League (renamed to Division 3 in 2018).[4]
At the end of the 2022 season, Division 3 was disbanded.[4]
Clubs
In its final season in 2023, the competition involved 19 teams − six in Premier Division and 13 in Division 2.
