The winners of the first tournament were Queensland Roar (who were later to change their name to "Brisbane Roar"), after finishing at the top of the table over the regular season ("Premiers"). The Roar made all but two of the first seven W-League grand finals. In the 14 A-League Women seasons to date (including the 13 played under the original W-League branding), the Premiers have only gone on to win the Grand Final four times. The 2015 Grand Final was the first to feature neither the Roar nor Sydney FC.
