Australian Rules Football
Australian Football League
 A Brief History Of Australian Football League The AFL evolved from the Victorian domestic competition, and over the past 25 years it has grown into a national competition with teams based in five of the six Australian states although ten of the sixteen clubs are still based in Victoria. Since the move toward a national competition, the AFL has become a very powerful, wealthy and influential organisation in Australian sport. The 16 teams play against each other in 22 rounds between late March and early September. These matches are followed by a series of finals matches which culminate in the two best teams playing off for the premiership in the AFL Grand Final, one of the largest domestic club championship events in the world. |
