In 2016, The AFL announced the creation of theAFL Women's league with all 18 clubs asked to submit a bid to become one of the inaugural clubs. Hawthorn would be one of five clubs who chose not to submit a bid. In 2017, following a successful debut season the AFL would announce the league would expand from the 2019 season. Unlike 2016, Hawthorn would this time submit a bid to join the league. They would ultimately be unsuccessful.[2]
On 12 August 2021, Hawthorn along withEssendon,Port Adelaide, andSydney were granted licences to join theAFL Women's from2022 season 7.[3]Bec Goddard who was in charge of the club'sVFL Women's side was appointed as Hawthorns inaugural AFLW coach immediately following the announcement.[4]
