The team, coached by Trevor Curry, has been building momentum all season, scoring an impressive 68 goals so far.
They rose from fifth place in round 10 to defeat number one team Scone in the finals to earn their spot in the grand final.
Having defeated Raymond Terrace in last year's grand final, the Tilligerry side is looking to make it two consecutive championships.
Most of the team have been playing together and coached by Curry since Mini Roos (under-6).
Supported by team manager Lisa Harding and an enthusiastic and sometimes very vocal bunch of parents, the team has found their form late in the season and are a definite chance for their second grand final win.
Tilligerry FC had seven teams make it through to the semi-final stages.
Its under-12, under-13, 16 girls and the All Age women will play their grand finals this weekend.
The club, celebrating 35 years in 2019, also hosted semi-finals this season.
A community club, this year Tilligerry FC have raised $10,000 for the Mark Hughes Foundation.
"Tilligerry FC have excelled this season both on and off the field courtesy of a dedicated committee, excellent coaching, and the support of the community and hardworking volunteers," the club said.
