A teenager has been charged with murder after the stabbing death of a woman during a suburban brawl.

The 15-year-old girl is one of seven people, including one adult woman, arrested and charged over the incident.

Emergency services responded to reports of a brawl in the Wollongong suburb of Warrawong, NSW about 6.30pm on November 22.

Officers found a 39-year-old woman with stab wounds who was taken to Wollongong Hospital in a critical condition.

She died in hospital ten days later.

An adult and six teenagers have since been charged with offences including affray and being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence.

On Thursday, police said a 15-year-old girl had also been charged with murder.

She will remain in custody and is due to appear at a children's court on December 12.
