List of VFA/VFL premiers

This page is a complete chronological listing of Victorian Football Association and Victorian Football League premiers. The Victorian Football League (VFL), known as the Victorian Football Association until 1995, was the top Victorian competition in Australian rules football from 1877 until 1896, and has been the second-tier Victorian competition since.

Each year, the premiership is awarded to the club which wins the VFL Grand Final. The Grand Final has been an annual tradition in its current format since 1933, and some form of Grand Final has been scheduled in each season since 1903 VFA season.

List of premiers

The following is a list of the premiers, and the Grand Final results and circumstances. Most conventional Grand Finals are a single match at the end of a finals series, the winner of which wins the premiership. Prior to 1902, the premiership was determined based solely on win-loss record, and a playoff match was played only when there was a tie. Under the Argus system in place from 1903 until 1932, the circumstances of the Grand Final could vary; in those years, the minor premiers had the right to challenge the winner of the finals series for the premiership, so the Grand Finals of this era are a mixture of challenge matches and non-challenge matches which would have been followed by challenge matches had the minor premier been defeated. Regardless of the circumstances of the time, all of these games are now recognised as Grand Finals.

  Premiership decided by a conventional Grand Final or playoff match, in which neither team had any right to challenge
  Premiership decided by a Grand Final Replay, after the scheduled Grand Final was drawn
  Premiership decided by a Challenge Final under the Argus system
  Premiership decided without the need for a Challenge Final under the Argus system; in these cases, had the runners-up won the match, a rematch would have been played the following weekend
  Premiership decided without any form of Grand Final

Premierships by team

These tables summarise all senior premierships won by each team. The "Grand Final Matches" column includes all Grand Finals and Grand Final Replays listed in the previous section (including the forfeiture in 1904), and because of this, the column will not necessary equal the sum of the premierships and runners-up columns.
