Team of the Century

Team of the Century

Team of the Century is a term used to describe the best team over a period of 100 years, or for a century (always the 20th). It is used extensively in the sport of Australian rules football, where, since the mid-1990s, leagues (such as the VFL/AFL or SANFL), as well as football clubs, have named their best team (see Football (Australian rules) positions).

One of the most famous examples of the team of the century concept was in 1996, when the AFL Team of the Century was named in the League's centenary season.
