List of foreign A-League Women players
This is a list of foreign players in the Australian A-League Women, which commenced play in 2008 as the W-League and was rebranded in 2021. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria:
- Have played in at least one A-League Women game (including finals). Players who were signed by A-League Women clubs, but did not play in any competitive games, are not included.
- Are considered foreign, i.e., outside Australia determined by the following:
- A player is considered foreign if she is not eligible to play for the national team of Australia.
More specifically,
- If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if she has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include Australia players with dual citizenship.
- If a player has not been capped on international level, her country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from Australian parents or moved to Australia at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched her nationality to another nation.
Clubs listed are those for which the player has played at least one A-League Women game. Note that calendar years are used. This follows general practice in expressing years a player spent at club.
As of December 2020, 32 different nations have been represented in the A-League Women. France is the most recent nation to be represented with debuting for Melbourne City on 29 December 2020.
In bold: players who are currently active with an A-League Women club.
