Gridiron West 1994-Current
Gridiron West was formed as a breakaway competition in 1994, which is also a current member of Gridiron Australia.
Original Gridiron West Teams
- Bassendean/Perth Broncos
- Hyde Park Giants
- Curtin Saints
- Wanneroo/Joondalup Bears
- Rockingham Dolphins
Gridiron West later included the Southern River/Armadale Panthers, Bunbury Raiders and the West Coast Buccaneers.
Due to the WAGFL folding in 1996, the Claremont Jets and Westside Steelers joined Gridiron West, with the Rockingham Dolphins merging with the Southside Seahawks to become the Rockingham Vipers and Gridiron West is now WA's only Gridiron league.
Three further teams have since joined Gridiron West, those being Perth Blitz (renaming of Perth Giants), The West Coast Fire (based in Gosnells) and the West Coast Wolverines (based in Scarborough).
