The 1912 VJFA Grand Final was an Australian rules football match contested between Port Melbourne Railway United and Yarraville at Croxton Park on 21 September 1912.

Although they had the right to challenge, Railway United objected to the decision and refused to play in protest, meaning that the grand final was scratched and Yarraville were awarded the premiership.

This gave the club that finished first on the ladder at the end of the home-and-away season (the minor premiers) the right to challenge the winner of the finals series for the premiership.

[6] Railway United secured the 1912 minor premiership with a win over Brighton Juniors in the final home-and-away round on 24 August.

[18] At the VJFA's meeting on Wednesday, 25 September, the goal was deemed to have been a behind and was disallowed (with no score recorded entirely), giving Yarraville a three-point victory.

[17][18] As minor premiers, Railway United had the right to challenge Yarraville in a grand final, which was scheduled for 5 October at Croxton Park.

[19] However, Railway United captain Kennedy protested "rather forcibly" against the decision, and the club ultimately refused to exercise the right of challenge.
