The All-Australian umpires, similar to the All-Australian team, are a panel of Australian rules football umpires named as the best performing at the conclusion of the regular season each year. Teams are named for both the Australian Football League and the AFL Women's (AFLW), and are selected by the leagues' umpiring coaches. In each league, one field umpire, one boundary umpire and one goal umpire are selected.
History The AFL have selected All-Australian umpires in the men's league since 1991; however, until 2005, this honour was reserved for field umpires only. In the AFLW, panels of three umpires have been named since 2022 season 7. Field umpires were also occasionally named with the All-Australian sides named at AFL Women's National Championships prior to the founding of the AFLW.
