Philippines Australia Rugby League Mens Teams

At PARL, our Women’s Program is built to give Filipina athletes in Australia a clear, supportive pathway - from learning the game to representative teams, and ultimately representing the Philippines on the international stage.

We’re here to make history in women’s rugby league and it starts with our Filipino women. We’re building more than just a team; we’re creating a space where players feel seen, supported, and proud to represent who they are. We give them the tribe they need to keep moving forward, with clear pathways toward higher levels of the game and opportunities to reach professional rugby league. This is about growth, belief, and backing each other every step of the way. And as more women step onto the field, we’re celebrating the fact that Filipina athletes are not just part of the game... they’re helping change it.

Some of our players are new to the game. Some come from touch, Oztag, or other sports.

Doesn’t matter. If you’re willing to learn, compete, and back yourself you’re already part of the journey.

Our Women’s Teams compete in key tournaments across Australia. This is where players, build confidence in contact and game awareness, develop team connection and identity and start getting recognised.

Players are identified for representative squads where discipline, consistency, and mindset matter just as much as talent. Because at this level…
you’re not just playing for yourself anymore.

Selected athletes represent the Philippines on the international stage wearing the jersey, carrying the flag, and inspiring the next generation of Filipina athletes. This is where representation becomes reality and young girls start to see what’s possible.

Womens Coaching Staff

Meet the people behind the players. Behind every great player is a team that pushes them further. Our coaching staff bring experience, passion, and a deep understanding of what it means to represent both code and culture.
