The Football Victoria Community Shield (formerly the Football Federation Victoria Community Shield) is the annual soccer match between the winners of the National Premier Leagues Victoria and the Dockerty Cup in the previous season. Serving as a "curtain raiser" in February ahead of the start of the season, it is considered to be a Super cup within the Victorian football league system.
