<P> West Coast was founded in 1986 as an expansion team . It entered the AFL , then known as the Victorian Football League , in 1987 along with Queensland 's Brisbane Bears . It reached the finals series for the first time in 1988 , and won its first premiership in 1992 , having been defeated in the grand final the previous year . It is the first non-Victorian team to play in and win a grand final . The Eagles have since won three more premierships , in 1994 , 2006 and 2018 . The club is currently coached by Adam Simpson and captained by Shannon Hurn . From 2013 to 2018 , the East Perth Football Club , which competes in the West Australian Football League ( WAFL ) , served as West Coast 's reserves team . From 2019 the Eagles will field a reserves team in the WAFL . The Eagles have won the second most premierships ( four , second to Hawthorn ) in the AFL era ( 1990 onwards ) and are one of the most supported and financially dominant clubs in the league . </P>
