The 1992 AFL season was the 96th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season featured fifteen clubs, ran from 21 March until 26 September, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top six clubs.

Prior to the season, the AFL ceased its role as the administrative body for football in Victoria after 95 years: this role was transferred, along with control of the reserves competition, to the newly established Victorian State Football League (VSFL). Subsequently, the Victorian AFL clubs' under-19s competition was dissolved, and zone-based recruiting was abolished.

The premiership was won by the West Coast Eagles, after it defeated {{AFL Gee}} by 28 points in the 1992 AFL Grand Final. It was West Coast's first premiership, and the first premiership won by a non-Victorian club following the league's interstate expansion.

Finals series

{{main|1992 AFL finals series}}

The AFL used a modified version of the McIntyre final six, after criticism of the original final six system. The difference to the original version was that First Semi-final would be contested between the loser of the qualifying final and the Elimination Final winner which had finished in a lower qualifying position on the ladder, while the second Semi-final would be contested between the winner of the qualifying final and the Elimination Final winner which had finished in a higher qualifying position on the ladder. This system would be retained for the following season before being replaced by the McIntyre final eight system.

Notable events

  • The minor grades and recruitment processes for Victorian clubs in the AFL competition underwent significant changes for the 1992 season:
  • Zone-based recruiting was abolished, firmly establishing the AFL Draft as the primary mechanism for player recruitment.
  • The AFL ceased its role as the administrative body for football in Victoria after 95 years, with the Victorian State Football League (VSFL) being established as a new administrative body to oversee football in Victoria.
  • The VSFL also took control of the AFL reserves competition: this change was only administrative, with the VSFL serving as a continuation of the AFL reserves (main: 1992 AFL reserves season).
  • The AFL Under-19s competition and the twelve competing AFL clubs under-19s teams were dissolved, being replaced by the VSFL's new Under-18s competition (later known as the TAC Cup and currently as the Coates Talent League) that featured six district-based clubs not affiliated with any AFL club.{{cite news|newspaper=Herald-Sun|publication-place=Melbourne|page=76|author=Geoff Poulter|date=12 March 1991|title=AFL rings in the changes}}
  • Geelong also set records for most points scored in a home-and-away season (3,057) and in all games (3,558), which have not been broken as of 2024. The Cats managed to score over 175 points in six different games.{{cite web |title=1992 Season Scores and Results |url=https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1992.html |website=afltables.com |access-date=22 October 2023}}
