Attendance figure at Hawthorn vs Essendon Rd 18 2007

Australia is home to four professional football codes. This is a comprehensive list of crowd figures for Australian football codes in 2008. It includes several different competitions and matches from Australian rules football, rugby league, football (soccer) and rugby union (international rules football is a code of football played by Australian rules footballers). Sydney and Brisbane have teams represented in all four codes. Hobart and Darwin are Australia's only capital cities without a professional football team.

Two of these leagues, specifically the NRL and A-League, have one team in New Zealand. Attendance figures for the New Zealand teams are not taken into account in the figures on this page.

Note that the Australian Rugby Championship folded at the end of 2007.

Other competitions

Other competitions, such as international and representative competitions, included are:

Note: For these competitions, only figures for games that take place in Australia are taken into account

Non-Competition Games

Some Non-competition matches (such as friendly and exhibition matches) are also included:

Note: this list will be updated as more games are scheduled.

Competitions not included

There are several notable semi-professional regional and state based competitions which draw notable attendances and charge an entry fee that are not listed here. These are worth mentioning as some of their attendances rival those of national competitions and compete for spectator interest.

These include (ranked by approximate season attendances):
