Mid-June will see a round of representative clashes between the NTFAW, NWFLW and SFLW, with matches to played on June 12, 14 and 19.
An under-20s all stars match between the North and the South will also take place on June 19.
The women's season will then wrap up with a state finals series between the premiers from all three regions in mid-September.
The host team, which will rotate between the SFL (2021), NWFLW (2022) and NTFAW (2023), will automatically advance to the September 19 state grand final with the other two teams playing off the week prior.

The changes come after North Launceston and Kingborough exited the TSLW late last year, forcing the disbandment of the league.
Clarence and Glenorchy have since moved to the SFLW, while Launceston will compete in the NTFAW.
"While disbanding the TSLW competition was not an easy decision, we need to facilitate sustainable competitions," AFL Tasmania head Damian Gill said.
"There will be more senior women's teams than ever before with the SFLW and NTFAW both expanding, and it will give more players the opportunity to compete with the best female footballers in the state each week."
Gill said AFL Tasmania was also seeking nominations for a female football advisory group.
