Introduced for the first time in the 2021/22 season, the A-Leagues Club Championship Trophy is awarded to the football club whose men’s and women’s A-League teams perform the best across both their respective leagues. The recipient of the A-Leagues Club Championship Trophy will be the club with the highest combined points from both its men’s and women’s A-League teams at the end of the Isuzu UTE A-League Men and Liberty A-League Women’s regular seasons respectively. If teams are tied on points, the procedures to determine placings after the Regular Season apply as outlined on the Competition Rules page. To be eligible for the Club Championship, an A-League Club must have a team in the Isuzu UTE League and a team in the Liberty A-League Women’s competition.
Melbourne City FC were the most recent winners of the A-Leagues Club Championship for the 2024/25Â season, with a combined points tally of 103 points between the Isuzu UTE A-League & Ninja A-League competitions.
Melbourne City FC has now won the A-Leagues Club Championship on three occasions: in the first two seasons after its inception in 2021-22 and 2022-23, as well as last season: 2024-25.
The A-Leagues Club Championship is a simple concept, but one that goes to the heart of why the APL created the A-Leagues: it’s not men’s football, or women’s football, it’s just football. It’s about the players, the teams and the clubs fans follow across Australian football, whoever they are. By creating the A-Leagues Club Championship, APL are aiming to encourage fans of A-Leagues clubs to embrace the players no matter what their gender is but for the badge they play for.
