About AFL

AFL History

AFL was invented as a way for cricketers to stay fit during the winter break. Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules has grown into the highest attended and most watched sport in Australia. The game began in an 1858 schoolboy match between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar. Aussie Rules burst into Victoria in the early 1900s with the creation of the VFL in 1896, and interstate expansion since the 1980s has meant AFL has become the national code.

AFL has the highest spectator attendance and television viewership of all sports in Australia. It’s annual Grand Final played in September or October every year is the highest attended club event in the world. The sport is also played at amateur level in many countries and in numerous variations. The game’s rules are governed by the AFL Commission with the advice of the AFL’s Laws of the Game Committee.
Aussie Rules is a sport rich in tradition and Australian cultural references, especially surrounding the rituals of game day for players, officials and supporters.
