2023 AFL Canberra season | |
---|---|
Date | 15 April − 9 September 2023 |
The 2023 AFL Canberra season was the 100th season of the AFL Canberra First Grade, the highest-level men's Australian rules football competition in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and the 25th season of the highest-level women's competition. [1] [2] The season began on 15 April and concluded on 9 September. [3] [4]
In 2022, the AFL Canberra Community competition consisted of two men's grades (known as Third Grade and Fourth Grade). [5] [6] This was changed in 2023, with Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3 established for the men's Community competition, and Community Division 1 established for the women's competition. [5] [7] The existing Second Grade Women competition, which was a community-grade competition, became a senior competition (below First Grade Women). [5] [8]
The Googong Hogs introduced a women's team for the first time in 2023, entering Community Division 1. [5] [9]
