Australia women's national rugby league team

The Australia women's national rugby league team, also known as the Australian Jillaroos, or Harvey Norman Jillaroos for sponsorship reasons, represents Australia in women's rugby league. They played their first formal international in 1995 under the administration of the Australian Women's Rugby League. The AWRL affiliated with the Australian Rugby League in the late 1990s, with AWRL reports included in ARL annual reports. Since the advent of the Australian Rugby League Commission in February 2012, the team has been administered by that body and the National Rugby League.

The Australian Jillaroos are current world champions, having won the last three Women's Rugby League World Cup tournaments. Their first World Cup victory came in the fourth tournament, in 2013. The Jillaroos won on home soil in 2017 and again in the postponed 2021 tournament held in November 2022. Appointed in February 2025, the current head coach of the Jillaroos is Jess Skinner.

Matches have been broadcast on free-to-air networks since 2014 (Nines) and 2015 (Test Match).

The Jillaroos squad is selected by a panel of national selectors. There are specific tournaments and matches that act as selection trials. These include:

The current coach of the Australian team is Jess Skinner. After coaching the team on an interim basis in early 2025, Skinner was subsequently confirmed as coach through to the World Cup in October–November 2026. Previous coaches have included Paul Dyer, Graham Murray, and Steve Folkes.
