The LGFA were in Singapore for their 2006 All Stars tour. There were a number of differences from the men's game. Fewer steps were allowed than in the men's game. Players were not allowed to call a mark in the middle of the field. Instead, a mark was only allowed inside both 45 metre lines. This was intended to see more flow in the game. The scoring system and use of the round ball remained the same as in the men's game.https://ladiesgaelic.ie/ladies-agree-international-rules-deal-with-afl/ Ladies Agree International Rules Deal with AFL 19 March 2006 ladiesgaelic.ie 7 November 2019https://www.worldfootynews.com/article.php/20060318235711849 International Rules series for the Ladies/Women www.worldfootynews.com 18 March 2006 8 November 2019 The Australian-style tackle was not allowed in the women's series.
