History
Founded in 1984, the Capitals first competed in the WNBL in the 1986 season after winning the Women's Basketball Conference (WBC) in 1985. After struggling to make an impact on the competition for more than a decade, the Capitals became one of the dominant teams in the WNBL in the 2000s, due in part to the ascension of one of the greatest female players in the world Lauren Jackson. They have won the WNBL Grand Final in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2019 and 2019–20.
Capitals boli založené v roku 1991 a sú jedným z najúspešnejších tímov v histórii WNBL, s deviatimi víťazstvami v šampionáte. Medzi ich bývalé hráčky patria Lauren Jacksonová, Penny Taylorová a Liz Cambageová.
Súčasný tím Capitals vedie tréner Paul Goriss a vedie ho Kelsey Griffin, Liz Cambage a Marianna Tolová.
