The St Kilda Football Club, nicknamed the Saints, is an Australian rules football club based in Melbourne, Victoria. The club plays in the AFL Women's (AFLW), and is associated with the St Kilda men's team.
In September 2017, the club was granted a license by the AFL to compete in the league from the start of the 2020 season.[2] The team plays its home games out of Moorabbin Oval, in Moorabbin, Victoria.
The club has a reserves affiliation in the VFL Women's (VFLW) with the Southern Saints, who have been solely managed by the Sandringham Football Club since 2020.[3]
On 18 February 2017, the Australian Football League (AFL) announced the creation of a women's competition the following year.[4] St Kilda was one the first 13 clubs to apply for an inaugural license to join the competition. Despite being unsuccessful in its bid, it was granted a provisional license, meaning it would take preference over other bidders in subsequent bids.[5] Following the successful completion of the inaugural AFLW season in 2017, the AFL launched a second round of bidding for licenses to enter the competition from 2019 onwards. St Kilda was again among eight clubs that applied.[6] In September 2017, the club was announced as one of six clubs to receive a licence to join the competition, and as one of four to join in 2020.[7]
