Carlton and Collingwood featured in the league's first ever match.
The match was held on Friday, 3 February 2017 at Ikon Park. Crowd was 24,568.
Result: Carlton 7.4 (46) defeated Collingwood 1.5 (11)
The match was initially scheduled to be held at Collingwood's home Olympic Park Oval, but was moved in January 2017 to the higher capacity Ikon Park due to higher than expected interest.
A lockout was declared during the first quarter of the Carlton and Collingwood match, with the Victorian Police requesting the gates to be closed for safety reasons. The crowd of 24,568 set an all-time record for attendance at a stand-alone women's sports event in Australia, exceeded only by the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games for crowds at women's sports.
