AAC's women have won the Dames Ereklasse eight times, supply players to every Netherlands age grade, and still take all comers on a Tuesday night.
AAC has one women's XV. They play in the Dames Ereklasse, the Dutch top division, and won it in May 2025. Training is Tuesday and Thursday at Sportpark De Eendracht, 19:30–21:00. New players are welcome; experience isn't required.
The team's stated philosophy is simple: rugby has a place for every size and temperament. Competitive ambition on the pitch, a strong social side off it: the annual trip and the Oud vs Jong fixture on New Year's Day.
Around forty AAC nationalities run through the men's senior group; the women's section is just as international. English is the working language on the pitch.
The eighth national title was sealed by a 17–0 final win over RUS in Amsterdam on 25 May 2025. AAC reached the final again in 2025–26, winning three of the opening four rounds (including 73–17 away at Castricum).
On Saturday 30 May 2026, AAC met RC Waterland in the Dames Ereklasse final at NRCA Stadium, losing 12–39 — a second consecutive Dames Ereklasse final.
Eight Dames Ereklasse titles places AAC second all-time among Dutch women's clubs, behind SRC Thor (12) and ahead of RUS Utrecht (6). Four came in a row between 2007–08 and 2010–11; the most recent in May 2025.
They returned to the final in 2025–26 but lost 12–39 to RC Waterland on 30 May 2026, so the tally stays at eight.
