List of VFA/VFL premiers

Each year, the premiership is awarded to the club which wins the VFL Grand Final.

Several different methods have existed to determine the premiers: These tables summarise all senior premierships won by each team.

The "Grand Final Matches" column includes all Grand Finals and Grand Final Replays listed in the previous section (including the forfeiture in 1904), and because of this, the column will not necessary equal the sum of the premierships and runners-up columns.

Reserves teams for the VFA clubs competed in a dedicated competition from 1928 until 2017.

This competition was known as the Victorian Junior Football Association until 1932, then throughout most of its history as the VFA Seconds, then later as the VFA Reserves, VFL Reserves and finally as the VFL Development League.
