The ACT Brumbies Women are an Australian rugby union team based in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The team competes in the annual Super W competition. They have competed in every edition since Rugby Australia announced that a national women's rugby competition would be launched in 2018.[1]

History

The Brumbies only managed one win against the Melbourne Rebels during the inaugural season of Super W in 2018.[citation needed]

In 2019 there was a change to the finals format with an additional playoff match added for the teams which finished second and third during the regular season. The Brumbies finished the regular season in third place and played in the playoffs against Queensland, but they were defeated 10–39.[2]

The Brumbies completed the 2020 Super W season in third place after the playoff and final was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

In September 2024, Andy Friend was announced as the new Head Coach for the Super Rugby Women's 2025 season.[4][5]

Current squad

On 29 January 2025, the squad for the 2025 season was announced.[6][7]
