The Women's National Football Conference is an amateur full-contact Women's American football league that began play in 2019.

League history

The Women's National Football Conference was founded in 2018, with their inaugural season in 2019. On their website, the WNFC describes themselves as looking to create a standard of excellence and opportunities. Notably, the WNFC does not charge teams of players a fee for entry into the league; rather, teams are invited into the league based on quality of market, team, players and ownership.
On December 10, 2018, the WNFC announced a historic partnership with Adidas, as part of the latter's "She Breaks Barriers" initiative. As part of that partnership, Adidas serves as the WNFC's presenting sponsor, with all WNFC teams wearing custom-made Adidas uniforms.

The season began on April 6 and ended with the inaugural IX Cup on June 29, which saw the defeat the Utah Falconz 19-14.
