The 2009 season was Adelaide United Football Club (W-League)'s second season, in the W-League. Adelaide United finished 7th in their W-League season.
This season saw drastic squad changes after a disappointing inaugural season, including new signing Christina Papageorgiou taking the captaincy.[1] However, Adelaide still struggled in the league failing to win a single game, and finished seventh ahead of the Newcastle Jets.[2]
Racheal Quigley was named Adelaide United 2009/10 Westfield W-League Most Valuable Player.[3]
