The 2018 Geelong Football Club women's season was the club's second season of women's Australian rules football contested by the Geelong Football Club, competing in the 2018 VFL Women's season. The club would join the 2019 AFL Women's competition after securing an expansion licence in September 2017 to join the elite level competition.[1] The team was again coached by Paul Hood and captained by Rebecca Goring.

Geelong finished in fourth at the end of the expanded 16-game home and away season to qualify for the finals. Winning consecutive finals, the Cats progressed to the 2018 VFL Women's Grand Final at Etihad Stadium, falling short to Hawthorn in the decider by 13 points.[2]
