The 2009 USAFL National Championships were held at Heritage Oak Park in Mason, OH. In the 5th year of a women's division at nationals we fielded a full 8 team division including Arizona, Atlanta, Calgary Blue, Calgary White, Denver, Milwaukee, New York, Toronto/Montreal/Sacramento. Additionally players from North Carolina, Baltimore, and Minnesota competed with the aforementioned clubs. We're looking forward to them fielding full teams at the 2010 nationals!

'Phenomenal': Torres Strait Islander Mary David on the attack against the US women's AFL side on Monday night.
THE US Freedom women's AFL team was the headline act but it was a Cape crusader who stole the show at Cazalys on Monday night.
Giant 16-year-old ruckman Mary David dominated the game as the AFL Cairns women’s representative side defeated the US 3.10 (28) to 1.5 (11).
Coach Laura Martin said the Torres Strait Islander, who attends Djarragun College, had huge potential.
"She was phenomenal," Martin said.
"She was everywhere, taking great grabs, great tackling, just always where the ball was." read more »
