Australian Football League Australian rules football competition

The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent professional competition of Australian rules football in Australia. Through the AFL Commission, the AFL also serves as the sport's governing body, and is responsible for controlling the laws of the game. The league was founded as the Victorian Football League (VFL) as a breakaway from the previous Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season commencing in 1897. Originally comprising only teams based in the Australian state of Victoria, the competition's name was changed to the Australian Football League for the 1990 season, after expanding to other states throughout the 1980s.

The 1992 Australian Football League season was the 96th season of the elite Australian rules football competition and the 3rd under the name 'Australian Football League', having switched from 'Victorian Football League' after 1989. The grand final was won by the West Coast Eagles, who became the first non-Victorian club to win a premiership.
