Purpose: Women’s participation in all football codes is rising globally, including Australian football where the introduction of a national elite women’s competition in 2017 led to a rapid increase in women and girls playing for the first time across all levels.

When Australian football is compared to other team sports, the ACL injury risk 3-7 times higher than other female athletes.
