Background The 1877 Victorian Football Association season was the first in which the Australian rules football competition in Victoria was run under a properly constituted administrative body; which was formed with the view to governing the sport via a collective body, made up of delegates representing the clubs.
The association was made up of five inaugural metropolitan senior clubs (St Kilda being one of them), and a number of provincial senior teams from across the state.
