The high-flying Albion Park women's team will be leading the way, the side facing Epping FC in Sunday's final at Valentine Sports Park.
Joining Albion Park at the competition are the Shellharbour Women's Youth League side, who will face Avalon in the 18 years final, and Wollongong United, who play Glenmore Park in the 21 years men's final.
Shellharbour claimed a 5-2 victory over Leichhardt in the semi-final to qualify for this weekend's decider.
The girls enter the match on the back of a second-place finish at the Kanga Cup and Shellharbour president Yani Sekuloski said the side is full of confidence ahead of Sunday's final.
"The season they're having is quite remarkable," Sekuloski said. "On behalf of all Shellharbour juniors, we wish them all the best in the grand final."
