It acts as an umbrella to several competitions beneath it. These competitions are Seniors First Grade, Seniors Second Grade, Thirds, Fourths and a Rising Stars League. A women's league, the Australian Capital Territory Women's Australian Football League operates separately though most AFL Canberra clubs also field women's teams.
The league was founded as the Federal Territory Australian Rules Football League in 1924 with founding members Acton and Queanbeyan.[1] The following year, the premiership was contested by 4 clubs including Canberra, Federal and Duntroon.[2] By 1926 the competition had gained popularity and was contested by 5 clubs.[1]
AFL Canberra was once a very popular local league, however since the introduction of the Swans and matches featuring AFL clubs being played at Manuka Oval, the league's home ground, and the growth of local rugby union, rugby league and association football competitions, AFL Canberra has experienced the loss of clubs and spectator support.
The AFL Canberra has been through a number of forms.
