AUSTRALIAN musician and songwriter Megan Washington will perform before Saturday's NAB AFL Women's Grand Final at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.

Washington will sing the national anthem and a selection of her own songs, and will also provide the entertainment at next Tuesday night's AFLW Awards function in Melbourne.

Washington, who was born in Papua New Guinea and moved to Brisbane with her family when she was 10, said she was "excited and honoured" to be taking part in the Grand Final.

"It's an historic day for the Australian sporting community…it's been inspiring to witness such a high level of community support for the women's competition," she said.
