The AWL
The Australian Waterpolo League (AWL) is Australia’s premier domestic water polo competition – the water polo equivalent of the AFL!
The AWL has 10 representative clubs from across Australia, each club has one team for each gender. The AWL begun as the National Water Polo Men’s League back in 1990, with the women’s league introduced in 2004. In 2015 WPA introduced a licensing structure to the league to formalise the teams’ involvement, meaning all 10 clubs involved now hold a license to compete each year. In 2017, the name was changed from ‘National Water Polo League’ to ‘Australian Waterpolo League’.
