The Southern Saints entered the VFLW in 2018, after the Seaford Football Club opted to transfer its licence to the St Kilda Football Club.[2]
In its first season, the club had an agreement with the Frankston Football Club. It finished 8th on the ladder at the end of the season.[3]
In 2019, St Kilda and its VFL affiliate, Sandringham, moved to co-manage the club. Since St Kilda entered the AFL Women's competition in 2020, Sandringham holds the Southern Saints team licence.[4]
The club's best season came in 2022, when it finished fifth on the home-and-away ladder. They lost in the grand final to Essendon, going down by 35 points.[5]
Before 2018, the St Kilda Sharks competed in the VFLW, and before that, in the now-defunct Victorian Women's Football League.[6]
