1877 VFA season

The 1877 Victorian Football Association season was the first in which the Australian rules football competition in Victoria was run under a properly constituted administrative body. The Association was formed with the view to governing the sport via a collective body, made up of delegates representing the clubs. It was the second such body to have been formed; the South Australian National Football League having been formed just 17 days prior to the VFA.

Australian rules football had been played since the 1858, but had been administered in a less formal manner prior to the establishment of the VFA.

The inaugural VFA premiership was won by the Carlton Football Club.
