The 2023 AFL Canberra season was the 100th season of the AFL Canberra First Grade, the highest-level men's Australian rules football competition in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and the 25th season of the highest-level women's competition.[1][2] The season began on 15 April and concluded on 9 September.[3][4]
Competition structure
In 2022, the AFL Canberra Community competition consisted of two men's grades (known as Third Grade and Fourth Grade).[5][6] This was changed in 2023, with Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3 established for the men's Community competition, and Community Division 1 established for the women's competition.[5][7] The existing Second Grade Women competition, which was a community-grade competition, became a senior competition (below First Grade Women).[5][8]
The Googong Hogs introduced a women's team for the first time in 2023, entering Community Division 1.[5][9]
