Prior to 1990, it was known as the VFL reserve grade competition, VFL reserves or VFL seconds.
In its final season, the competition was made up of the reserves teams of all Victorian senior AFL clubs, plus that of the Sydney Swans.
Since 2000, the Victorian Football League has operated as a hybrid second-tier senior competition and reserves competition for most of the AFL clubs.
