Western Australia Australian rules football team

The Western Australia Australian rules football team is the state representative side of Western Australia in the sport of Australian rules football.

Western Australia has a proud history in interstate football, having a successful historical record and winning three Australian Championships and a State of Origin Carnival Championship, in the State of Origin era. The senior team is scheduled to return in 2026 AFL Origin playing its first match since 1998. The underage sides contest the underage men's (5 division 1 titles) and underage women's championships.

Western Australia has a long and intense rivalry with Victoria. The 1986 game between Western Australia and Victoria is "regarded by many people as one of the greatest games – not just in State of Origin – but in the 150 years of Australian Football".

The team has been known as the "Black Swans" after the Black swan which is the state symbol emblazoned on their guernsey; however, they are more popularly known by their rivals as the "Sandgropers" after the West Australian insect, a nickname also more generally used for West Australians.

The side has been captained and coached by many West Australian greats. Brian Peake experienced the most state success as both longest serving captain and most capped player. John Todd was the longest serving coach, sharing the most titles with Mal Brown.
