The first official female side playing under the Melbourne FC banner took part in a match against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday 29 June 2013. The same two teams played the return match on Saturday 28 June 2014, and again in 2015.
In both years a draft of nominated female players took place before the match, but the clubs retained a number of players. An official AFL Women's competition was launched in 2017.
Matches against Western Bulldogs are played for the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, named after two women's football pioneers.
