This page is a complete chronological listing of VFL/AFL premiers. The Australian Football League (AFL), known as the Victorian Football League (VFL) until 1990, is the elite national competition in men's Australian rules football. Two clubs, Carlton and Essendon, have won the most VFL/AFL premierships, with sixteen each. Every team currently competing in the Australian Football League, with the exception of Gold Coast, has made a grand final; only Fremantle, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney – three of the competition's four newest teams – are yet to win a premiership.
