The most coveted silverware in women’s footy will visit the Top End in a celebration of female football excellence. Find out when you’ll get a chance to see the cup.

Finals fever is heating up the Top End as footy’s biggest prize hits the road.

Returning for its second year, the AFLW’s Premiership Cup Tour will begin its trek across the country ahead of this year’s final series.

Held from November 13-27, the coveted trophy will travel to the NT, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria, stopping along the way at local footy clubs, communities, schools and Auskick centres.

On its journey, the trophy will be spending four days in Darwin as well as travelling to the Tiwi Islands with various activities set to take place as part of the celebrations.

AFL General Manager Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said she was delighted to see the tour return for another year.

“The AFL is proud to partner with NAB to bring this year’s NAB AFLW Premiership Cup Tour to life for its second season as we gear up for what will be another exciting NAB AFLW Finals Series,” she said.

“Football is for everyone, and the NAB AFLW Premiership Cup Tour allows us to not only celebrate women and girls’ football but provide an opportunity for the game to connect with fans in some of the most remote areas across the country.

“The excitement we saw on the faces of fans around the country on last year’s Cup Tour was priceless.

“I encourage everyone to come along to experience it if you have the opportunity before the winning team holds it aloft on Grand Final day.”
