Gold Coast Titans Women
The Gold Coast Titans Women are a professional rugby league football club, based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The team is part of the Gold Coast Titans club and plays in the National Rugby League Women's Premiership (NRLW), Australia's premier club competition for women.
On 11 June 2021, the NRL announced that the club's application for a licence to join the NRLW had been accepted, as part of the expansion of the competition for the 2021 season.[1] A few days later, on 14 June 2021, Jamie Feeney was announced as the inaugural coach of the Titans Women's team.[2].
In early September 2021, the NRL announced that due to border restrictions then in place to mitigate COVID-19, the 2021 season would be postponed to early in the new year.[3] The Titans Women played their first game on 27 February 2022.[4][5][6] The team's first win came the following week, in Round 2, 26–16, over the eventual premiers, the Sydney Roosters.[7][8]
