In April 2016, the club launched a bid to enter a team in the inaugural [[AFL Women's]] season in 2017. Meg Hutchins was appointed Women's Football Operations Manager some weeks prior, and given the responsibility of crafting the bid.<ref name="AFLWbid">{{cite news|last1=Allen|first1=Sarah|title=Collingwood launches bid for historic women's AFL team|url=http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2016-04-29/collingwood-launches-historic-womens-team-bid|access-date=16 October 2016|work=Collingwood Media|publisher=Bigpond|date=29 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018204730/http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2016-04-29/collingwood-launches-historic-womens-team-bid|archive-date=18 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The club was granted a license in June 2016, becoming one of eight teams to compete in the league's first season.<ref name="AFLWteam">{{cite news|last1=Allen|first1=Sarah|title=History made: Collingwood women's team announced|url=http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2016-06-15/history-made-collingwood-womens-team-announced-|access-date=16 October 2016|work=Collingwood Media|publisher=Bigpond|date=15 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618023458/http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2016-06-15/history-made-collingwood-womens-team-announced-|archive-date=18 June 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In addition to her role off-field, Hutchins would become one of the club's first players, along with marquees [[Moana Hope]] and Emma King.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Matthews|first1=Bruce|title=Sixteen of the best: women's marquees named|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-27/sixteen-of-the-best-womens-league-marquee-players-named|access-date=16 October 2016|work=AFL.com.au|publisher=Bigpond|date=27 July 2016}}</ref> Collingwood selected a further 19 players in October's inaugural draft as well as three non-drafted players and two first time footballing rookies.<ref name="AFLWbid"/> [[Dandenong Stingrays]] assistant and Victorian Metro Youth Girls head coach Wayne Siekman was appointed the team's inaugural head coach in July 2016.

The AFL Women's team is based at the club's training and administration at Olympic Park, though often shares matches between the venue and the club's spiritual home [[Victoria Park, Melbourne|Victoria Park]].<ref name="AFLWbid"/>
