The West Coast Eagles, trading name West Coast Eagles Football Club and abbreviated as Eagles or West Coast, is a professional Australian rules football club based in the inner-Perth suburb of Lathlain, Western Australia. The club was founded in 1986 as one of two expansion teams in the Australian Football League (AFL), then known as the Victorian Football League, and has competed in the competition ever since.
The West Coast Eagles are one of the most successful clubs in the AFL era (1990 onwards). The club has won the second most premierships (four, second to Hawthorn) in that time and were the first non-Victorian team to compete in and win an AFL Grand Final, achieving the latter feat in 1992. The Eagles have since won three more premierships, in 1994, 2006 and 2018. They are one of the most profitable and influential clubs in the league, and as of 2021 had more members than any other club with over 106,000.
As well as competing in the AFL, West Coast also fields a women's team in the AFLW competition.
