The Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) is the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria. Founded in 1892, it consists of six senior divisions, ranging from Premier to Division 3 in the men's competition and Premier to Division 4 in the women's competition.
In addition, the VAFA has under-19s and Thirds sections, primarily made up of either clubs only able to field one team, or clubs from higher sections that can field a third team after their seniors and reserves. The league operates a double promotion and relegation system between sections, with various rules dictating which section clubs can play in.
The VAFA's administration base is at Elsternwick Park, a former Victorian Football Association (VFA) ground that was home to the now-defunct Brighton Football Club, which is now the home for the Elsternwick Football Club and the Old Melburnians Football Club.
The VAFA comprises private school old boys clubs, university clubs and district clubs. No player payments are permitted, however players can be enticed by offers of employment. As of 2021, the VAFA has 14,000 male players and 4,000 female players.
