Australia women's international rules football team

The Australian women's international rules football team is the Australian women's representative team in international rules football, a hybrid of Australian rules football and Gaelic football.

The team was launched in 2006. At present the only team it is scheduled to play is the Ireland women's international rules football team, organised by the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association, on an annual basis. The Australian team's 2006 tour of Ireland in October and November will coincide with the tour of the Australian men's team.
